it "seems" darker than OEM in those pics? i have my old set of lights lying around the garage (Qest are a full light swap like what you're thinking) so if you want to dry and get the real Nismo look, you can have a play with my prev set perhaps.

That's what i noticed as well with the Qest ones on the black backing, you can see the LED's much clearer when they're not on. From the cars i've seen with Nismo ones, this isn't really the case, so they must use a more natural backing colour. Red perhaps, but maybe even a grey or cardboard colour?

I just purchased a 2nd set of lights to either be a test set or for an exchange basis for anyone that wants to do it that way..

I will take a side by side photo to see for any difference in colour and if so I will look into different coloured perspex or mounting the led board further back into the recess of the housings to hide the visibility through the lens. Appreciate the comments too its given me something to look forward to, if you want to do something with your old lights shoot me a PM to discuss it.

Never ended up getting my hands on a set of them :( so the centre brake light is still the only option I have, unless you go from drop-in bulbs...they're good as they light up quick and match the centre light LED speed, they're better RED also over stock.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
