I did. It does look really good, & more or less in keeping since a lot of the tail lights are already LED out of the factory. I also replaced the trunk light with an LED - that made a a huge difference over the glowworm that was in there before.

Link to the kit? I think it would match the color temperature of the headlights very nicely.

Also thinking of going LED in the Subaru interior. The interior is all black which really saps the incandescent dome lights' output.

We had a Buick Lacrosse (or the other sedan, I don't remember) at my cousin's wedding and the interior was lit up like midday when you opened the doors. I've never seen such a well-lit interior before.

I think my Z4 has two.  One interior light and one in the glovebox (that won't shut off, I don't know what's up with that).

Not so far. It's a very small light. Apparently it's a common problem.

Actually, I'm not 100% sure it stays on even if the car is off. I'll have to check that again. I think it does, but after a while you just tune it out, so you don't really notice it anymore.

I stumbled on that link myself after a few days of no response. ;)

I got the trunk lights for the G, and a bunch of new interior lights on the Outback. The trunk is going to have a 12-LED array dome light. It'll be fucking nuts.

A little bit of weatherstripping might keep the light from leaking.

Your doors have weatherstripping. Are you not able to open those either?

No, it would just be a spongy layer that fills in the gaps.

Doesn't seem necessary. The glovebox isn't in my field of vision when I'm driving; it's behind me.

That doesn't mean much by itself without knowing how much you have to put down in order to get that rate.  Big difference if it's 1500 down vs 4999 down.

Oh, it's probably 5-6000 down; but still.

Those are probably MY2015 cars. Infiniti done goofed in not releasing the MY2016 Q50 until this month, meaning, dealers the country over the last 6-7 months were screwed over with no choice but to try to push MY2015 inventory whilst the competition was moving MY2016 product. Infiniti marketing and product planning is a disaster.

It's a colossal joke. I've been tuned into it because I was eagerly awaiting the MY2016 Q50 because it uses the new turbo motors. I'm in pretty tight with my dealer - MY2016 Q50s didn't hit dealer lots till earlier this month, and still no sign of the 400 hp Red Sport. I've pretty much axed the Q50 from contention as a result if but for nothing else than they've probably also botched dealer training and spare parts supply chain for the new turbo motors.
