joebetoblame Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have found that two of the lights can be replaced with these bulbs. Looking to replace the other type which reads a12v8w-k (picture below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Are those bulbs from the map lights? I think they are BA9 bulbs. You can find replacement LEDs that fit in the map lights here: http://www.autolumination.com/otherleds.htm I bought two of the cool white versions of 25 led High Powered SMT Array They are very bright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjotrainbrain Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 There's a thread (maybe on a different forum) with the #s for replacing all of the interior lights with LED. I know I've seen it, I'll try to find it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inyourface1650 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks guys. The interior is AMAZINGLY dark at night compared to newer vehicles. The black leather doesn't help. I also find it interesting that the map lights don't come on with the dome lights. This is no longer the case in modern vehicles. It would require some diodes, but it may be worth running a line from the dome light up to power them when the door opens. We'll see if some nice 4100k LEDs in the domes help....

onespiritbrain Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The LEDs help a lot. Better make sure you have them OFF if you’re trying to preserve your night eyes though.. I don’t have a pic of the front seats illuminated by the dome but it is more than enough light to do whatever. If you haven’t already ordered your dome bulbs then look at these first. They’re a little higher priced but they are brighter than I expected, and I expected them to be bright. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075MC9QTZ?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title It says they’re unavailable right now.. I literally just ordered mine last week. Maybe they’ll be available again soon. Anyway, the warm white color temp is awesome. It’s whiter than the stock bulbs but not blue at all. Superbrightleds.com has colored BA9 bulbs for our map lights, if you’re looking for a solution to keep your night eyes. I got red LEDs for mine but now I’m reading that green and even blue are better than red for night eyes and enemy detection. Blue resembles the moon and green resembles moon light reflected from leaves, and red just resembles an uninformed person.. I did put a neutral white BA9 in the passenger map light and it puts out more than enough light for the driver when I’m not trying to preserve my night eyes and I just need light.Edit: I turned down the exposure a little too much on this photo.. I was trying to match what I was actually seeing with my eyes and I went a tiny bit too far, not much but a little. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I hate to link another forum but Towncivilian over on NICOclub made an excellent index of all the Lamps in the R50's.

onespiritbrain Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks man. I’m going to have to get into my auto climate control thing to put LEDs in it. If I dim my dash then it disappears.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that the map lights are independent of the door switch. One of the things I really like about Nissan & the Path is the ability to turn stuff off. I hate all the auto lights & seats that I don’t have the ability to override in my other vehicles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaDan Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Just don't buy the eBay LEDs. They are junk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaDan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Is this what you ordered for map lights?https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/ba9s-ba7s/ba9s-led-bulb-5-smd-led-tower-ba9s-retrofit-car/2077/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onespiritbrain Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The neutral white map light LEDs I got were from Amazon. They have more LED emitters than the superbrightled ones. But that Amazon brand didn’t offer red LED map lights so I got those on superbrightled.comNeutral White BA9S Map Light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DNMX832?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_titleRed BA9S Map Light: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/bayonet-bulbs/ba9s-led-boat-and-rv-light-bulb-5-smd-led-tower-ba9s-retrofit-96-lumens/2543/4725/#/attributes/13Warm White 31mm Dome Light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075MC9QTZ?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title74 Wedge Style Dash Light: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/instrument-cluster-gauge/74-led-bulb-3-smd-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/228/1068/#/attributes/10820Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaDan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Okay. Based on your links I just ordered the ones from amazon. That's the map lights and dome lights. I ordered those previously from eBay and those were junk. I'm excited to have your super bright ones! I'll pick up a green, blue or red when I make up my mind on the color? lol thanks much dude!
