The Kick off for the first mods when I get the car:

change the driving and license plate light for led's
change the orange indicators in the front
18" rims (after the winter)

You'll have to let us know the bulbs you get as those are the two things I'm thinking, also thinking LED side lights.

Would like less 'yellow' dipped/main beams too but haven't found with the right colour.

For the indicator lights I am using the Philips

For the led lights I'll be running the Pilot

For the license plate at the rear:

there are bigger version from Pilot, got to see how this looks first

Sweet Thanks, NissanJukeBox! I was looking at the osram silver indicators but I had these in my old fiesta and they burnt out within a year, likewise I had some cheap 'HID' look bulbs which too burntout quicker... I think LED is the way to go!

Can you tell me the product number/code of the LED bulbs yout using for the side lights?
Found these on ebay

Has anyone changed the Main bulbs yet, are HID just replacement bulbs?

Don't forget to replace the side indictors with silver/chrome 501 bulbs to get rid of the fried egg look!

was told today that we need to be careful when fitting LED bulbs to our new cars as this can mess about with the cars ECU & make lights come up on our dashes!

Not sure myself, anyone heard this before?

 

[nissanjukebox]

[Juke-of-earl]

The strange thing is they put silver vision front indicator bulbs in the later Qaski?

This is a warning posted on power bulbs web-site regarding some LED side lights:

Note: These bulbs are designed for interior use. They can be used in an exterior application but it is not road legal to do and, in addition, due to technical differences between LED and halogen technology, a vehicle warning light may be triggered depending on the configuration of your vehicle. This is more likely to happen if your car was manufactured after 2005. Should you choose to use the product in an exterior application, and a warninng light is triggered, we are unfortunately unable to provide any guidance as to how to disable this.

Juke does not have bulb failmonitoringin the UK so no worries on that part hear.

Car due 2 nd november, ordered front and rear styling plate and mudflaps up to now.think of carbon wrapping roof too !

 

[Scoobie Doo]

I fitted LED's to side lights and number plates no problem....
I tried fitting LED indicators bulb and the flashing rate was too fast due to too little resistance
Will have to order the OSRAMs silver bulbs - improves the front end no end
