Two full weeks now since ordering the cats. Sure does make it easier waiting, by knowing we're in the middle of a truly brutal Winter.

But just a little bit.

Thanks again, got them in. License plate & reverse LED combo looks nice, how it should be OEM

Went with Diode Dynamics "stage 2" (6000K?), good color (pure white) and improved output but not obnoxiously bright. Also, thanks again Nick and others who posted earlier

What did you find them for? Coming with lines etc too?

I also went with stage 2 for mine and have been very happy with the look. Glad it finally worked out for you. The left one can be a little tricky.

The wait will be well worth it, my friend.

I hear that! I'm glad I got my FI RHFCs on before the cold hit. Sure does sound great in the parking garage of my work on a cold start. I can only imagine what the FI catback will sound like

No lines, but I already have a set of Forged performance lines. I found a set on eBay from someone that bought them by mistake, rather than the non-sport brake lines.

Glad you got them in, definitely a bit tricky. I'm waiting patiently for the stage 3 to come in so I can pick a set of them as well. I like the ones I have but would like more light. Luckily I didn't go dark tint on the tails.

I'm starting to think we may be building matching cars! I'm trying to decide whether to swap my lines out when I get the car on the lift for the exhaust and caliper swap.

6000K is not pure white... it has tinges of blue... pure white is 5000k

^I'll allow Nick from DD to comment, the website doesn't grade them on temp, just color and "stages" ... either way, I'm satisfied with the result

Looking if someone can help me out with TPMS sensors. The OEM coupe 19s I have came with sensors (part # 40700 JK00B).

I've looked on several parts websites and have found misleading information. While one website says they are for G35 and G37 up to 2010, another will state that they are for many 2010 models.

Does anyone have any info if these TPMS sensors will work with my 2010 G37x Sedan? From what I've collected, the TPMS system was updated in 2010 and I am unsure if these sensors will work or not.

Worth the wait. Mine are - I think - fully broken in, and they sound great.

Certainly not doubting your expertise in the field of lighting and operating temperatures, sir, just don't know for sure the rating of the LEDs i used as DD does not specify them by temperature on website....

Lol. I know well I have come across a thread in the past where someone stated that the LEDs from DD are not 5000k but rather 5500-6000k thats all

There is no actual operating temperature in the context of bulb lighting and its color as described on the Kelvin Scale... you know that, right?
