Just wanted to show my first upgrades on my graphite shadow 2012 G37xs Coupe. Picked it up a couple weeks ago. Took about 2 hours for me to install, first time doing it. Headlights and daytime easy both sides, fogs gotta go from under on the passenger side. Took more time getting off the wheel well cover and getting through. Going for tints and vinyl roof next. I went through 3 pairs of LED turn signals, but cant find anything bright enough as the stock. Any ideas?

• 5 LED Daytime Running Lights (same as plates)

5 LED Blue All Interior Upgrade

 

Exterior looks great. The 5 LED for the license plate is a little bright for me personally, I went with 2. But it all looks good, just not feeling the blue interior at all man.

 

Love the S bumper on the coupes. Sick lighting!

 

Nice setup, you Daytime 194 BULB looks like HID. How do you have these wire up, if you dont mind me asking? Can you turn on your fogs independent, or you must have your parking lights on, which I belive make the daytime light bulb come on? Is this connected to parking wire, with higher AMP fuse, or do you have the Relay Harness directly to Battery?

 

I think I have another pic of the stock plates, ill post, actually almost the same light output from what I remember. The interior does look really bright, but the blue matches the interior gauges and everything perfectly.

I'll try to get some pics of just the daytime lights, they actually straight plug and play 194 LED replacements. Got these in super white for plates and daytime lights (im sure you can find cheaper on other sites, but have used them before). The color is pretty close.

Dont think you can turn on the fogs independent only the daytime. I will double check on that.

 

Let me know, I know people that have it wired to the parking light, which I believe turns on that 194 daytime light, can now use the fog switch to have it on or off ( FOG LIGHT), as oppose to having the headlight completely on, to have this setup. I got like 1000x ways of people of telling me how to set it up.

 

Got some more pics, 2 of them from my phone so not best quality

5 LED Plates


5 LED Daytime Lights - Definitely nicer look then the stock

 

Another note can only turn on the daytime lights by itself. Probably have to do some rewiring to just have the fogs on,

 

Personally I love the blue interior LED's, I have the same setup, always get compliments on it. Looks really good!

 

yeah I showed it to a couple of friends and they all liked the blue/hids and asked how to do it. Now they want me to do their car


Anyone have any recommendations for the turn signals? all that ive tried have been dull and nowhere close to the output of stock:

Most people on this forum will recommend V-LED or Diode Dynamics, here's the links below

Diode Dynamics

I've yet to try V-Leds, but I Did get some LED from Diode and they've been great so far.
