Lighting...LEDs & HIDs
Sponsored by & Many Thanks to
I met the owner of V-LEDS.com in July of 2008. He had been looking for some cars to showcase his lighting products, and an Altima happened to be on his list. He was quite enamored with the large, reflective taillight housings on the Gen3 Altima and thought they would look great with LED bulbs. Together we set out to put the best of his products into my car, and from there my sponsorship was born.
Since then, I have tested numerous different bulb designs on my car for V-LEDS. As newer designs are released, I try them out. Some replace the older bulbs, and others do not. What we have found is that some designs may be brighter, but not fill the light's lens as well. The bulbs pictured on this page reflect that and are the best LOOKING bulbs that V-LEDS has to offer for a Gen3 Altima.

A little more work than the other LEDs, but I have replaced the LEDs in the 4 door panel bezels, the A/C and Recirculation buttons, and the seat heater switches with white instead of amber. Also converted the tiny amber bulbs in the dimmer switch and rear defroster switch to white LEDs. All of these required soldering.
