500 US $
I dont know what the customs on auto parts are here, but I guess the final price should be around 7 - 800 $

Replacing the standard filaments with LED clusters will invalidate any warranty on the electrical circuitry, should "such a replacement be proven to be the cause or effect of a malfunction"
So, be careful that you install them correctly, and that they contain the correct load-balancing resistors

This is from an email I just dug up when I enquired about replacing the rear clustersQuoteReplacing the standard filaments with LED clusters will invalidate any warranty on the electrical circuitry, should "such a replacement be proven to be the cause or effect of a malfunction"

Much brighter and prettier than stock lights.
I remember getting one of the first sets of LED tail lights for my first 350z - they looked sooooooooooooooo good compared to the dull old standard bulbs.
Just hope they're plug & play, so you don't have to do any wire cutting.

Lights: 499 US $
Shipping: 55 US $
Taxes+customs: 15000 ISK
Total: 60.000 ISK - 792 AUD - 376 UKP

after a little digging i found out that the relay that came with the lights have to be fitted so the indicators will blink at a normal speed.
but the problem is that i have no idea where to put it, it does not fit in the fuse box nor in the driver side fuse box
so if anybody have any idea where this hazard relay is located i would appreciate it.
Post by: i30manUK on August 01, 2008, 07:14:34
Do those relays tick when the hazards go on & off? If so, you might try to locate where the tick comes from!

Wowwwwwww those are B E A U T I F U L - I WANT!!!!
...I bet they're much brighter than the standard bulbs.
ps - I may wait for a while until the price comes down a little, because I want to pay about £200 max for them.
