2nd round of changes: Carsmo, DiodeDynamics

What up guys,
So i made some more changes to the exterior/interior of my g37. I swapped out the stock fogs on my G for some 6000k Hid Fogs. Purchased a set of Stainless Steal ***** from Carsmo. Added a footwell kit courtesy of International Auto & sound and swapped out the interior stock lights(vanity, maps, door, glovebox) and license plate lights, reverse lights for some LEDs from Diode Dynamics.
I want to give a big shout out to Carsmo and Diode Dynamics for all their help and service. Here is a bit of my experience with both companies.
Carsmo Stainless Steel *****= Excellent service. Got item delivered next day. Shipped out of California. Easy install it took me all of 5 minutes to do. All you need is a pair of pliers. My first DIY
Diode Dynamics Interior Led Kit, Reverse lights/ License plate Leds=Great service From Mike. He knew exactly what would look good with my G since he owned one himself and was very honest. Got all lights swapped out at International Auto & Sound in North Hollywood.
Hope you like. i sure do.

Nice. Which HID kit did you use and where did you stick the ballasts for the fog lights?

Looks good. I had been wondering what the carsmo ***** would look like against the wood grain. I may end up ordering a set now.

Everything looks good except the LEDs in the lower grille. That's just my opinion, in the end yours is the only one that really matters.

Any specs on the ambient lighting?

Nice man I have their interior kit also, I have LED reverse, parking, plate, and turn signals also. Only thing let you need to finish it off is some 8k HIDs. Nice work man.

Ditto this, and the Smurf you killed on the floor mats... weird. Everything else is a nice add.

OP, did you know you can replace your dome-light lenses, too? The AT console with wood trim is a pretty classy looking configuration on the G, so these might look good there.

You will find them at your local NISSAN Parts Department. They come off the GT-R.

They are "18" blue dual led strips. Like what you would find with Diode Dynamics except these are from international auto sound n they were installed with a small on/off switch under the steering wheel in case I or the next owner can turn off if not liked. The on/off switch is completely out of sight. I know Diode offer their footwell kits with a remote and multiple color set ups but yeah. Hope that's any help

Thanks. I plan on getting some 6000k bulbs to try to keep the same color scheme in the front. Will change out the turn signals as we'll for some switchbacks. What are you running? I'm contemplating what bulbs to buy. Keep reading all these posts on the forum of cheap after market bulbs that burn out quickly

Checked my records, and it turns out I bought them through Amazon, not at the dealership. $30 for the pair.

Nice upgrades man. I like that Diode D has all those color options, although I think I'm goin with warm white or cool white. Agree with Rochester about the doje light upgrades. The smurf murders are funny too. Carsmo ***** look cool against all trims IMO
