Cool white LED - check Superbrightleds.com. You're right no overhead in the back

 

Also, it looks like there are no overhead reading lights in the back seat. Am I correct on this?

This is correct, but good luck fitting people back there.

 

Rear seats will definitely be cramped for larger adults, but that's the compromise you make to get such a stylish car. Better to use what you would have spent on the overhead reading lights for the puddle lights.

There's some puddle lights out there with fun designs if you have a bit more to spend on them.

 

On the Q50 forum there's an old thread with a link to a nice ebay one that has led and the infiniti logo. I have a set, they look cool.

 

Are these LED bulbs # 168/194?

 

Yup that's the size

 

Thanks. I will try these off Amazn: Philips 194 Bright White Interior Vision LED light (Pack of 2). 6000k, but most reviewers are saying they are really 5000k~5500k, which should be white and no blue.

 

Has anyone on here installed puddle lights that shine an Infiniti logo on the ground?

 

What's the best way to pop the clear cover off these puddle lights? I have the LED bulbs, but there's no obvious place to insert a screwdriver. I don't want to mangle anything.

 

I just ordered the LED's from Amazon. How do you remove the puddle light cover?

 

I used a screwdriver covered with a rag. it just pops out real easy.

 

Which T10s are people putting in there? Cause I know some LEDs are much longer than others with the same base so I'm kind of curious as to what would fit and what wouldn't

 

I installed these the other day, and they fit perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P2D3VZG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used a plastic flat interior trim tool to remove the lights. The light housing pops out easily, then pry 2 plastic tabs up and that will let you unhook the clear lens from all 4 tabs. Pull the old bulb out, install the new one, if it doesn't work turn the bulb 180'.

These lights look white (no blue as far as I can tell, if they were I would remove them - I hate when they're blue!), even whiter than the map lights and external ground lighting that I have installed... Still plenty of day light out, so I'll get a better look tonight. In any case, looks better than the yellow lights that came stock!

Thanks for posting this link... my puddle logo lights are arriving this week but now I'm also going to get the vanity/mirror lights swapped out.

 

I just installed my bulbs. The housing pops right out with a screwdriver and a rag. Much brighter and cleaner look. Nice improvement.

 

Any pictures?

 

From yellow to blue to logo

 

Where u order from

 

Hm... definitely not my thing. I'll pass on this mod.

 

What bulbs did you use for the vanity mirror?

 

I haven't ordered them yet... but here's what the guy says in the above link:

Vanity Light: Search for "Vanity Festoon 29mm LED"
I recommend the ones I just ordered Option 2.
Option 2 had twice as many, but I need them for another car and it does come with 3 SMD LEDs, the ladies will appreciate this much light from a vanity
