You take the unit out, then unscrew the front of it. the blubs are set in a little clip which unscrews and you can take it out. Good luck finding new blubs to fit, mine has been blanked out for a while now because I haven't been able to find new ones.

i believe there was someone doing a group buy of different colour led's on the GB thread so maybe do a search and see if he has them yet? they were gonna be in white (std) blue amber and i think green? had a few pics of them installed in gtr dashes adn looked the goods, so might be worth sussing out?

cheers oxford

Jump on the Yahoo auctions. There are quite a few kits on there for them. Most of them seem to be blue though, but if thats not a drama (wouldn't be for me) have a look.

I got bulbs for mine from dick smith in brisbane city, can't remember the part number but they were tiny 12v bulbs. I just took the ones out of the car into the shop and compared them. They came with wires on them already which i stripped to bare wire to put in the unit. That was about a year ago and they have been perfect ever since. If you do go ahead, the stock bulbs have little blue sleeves over them which are very fragile, try not to damage them when you take them off so you can re-use them.

No Yudi, it's very easy...

Just use the guide for removing your head unit, and once you get the whole section which holds the stereo, guages and climate control panel out, it'll be easy from there.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
