The list below fits the 02-04 Altima. The only differences on the 05-06 Altima aree the RED rather than amber rear turn signals, and the H11 rather than 9006 foglights. These are all basically stock replacements that plug directly in. If you are looking for a different color, note the product description and look on V-LEDS' site. The technolgy on LED bulbs is constantly evolving...as newer bulbs that work or look better are released, I will update the links and add an edit date next to them.
Turn Signal Resistors Blinker/Warning Fix - Turn Signal Fix
NOTE: If you are doing just the front or rear with LED bulbs, use the 6 ohm resistors. If you are doing both front and rear, use the 3 ohm

Reason: Update links...
There are a couple of posts on the Gen4 board using different bulbs than the ones recommended below. These are the ones that I personally installed into an 07 sedan. Just like the lists for the 02-06 Altimas, all of these refer to white bulbs for the interior. If you are after another color, V-LEDS probably has them.
**Note: V-LEDS recently started stocking 2 different colors of white bulbs for many applications. They are now offering 6k and 5k. 6k is a slightly blue color and a 'cool' white, while 5k is more a 'warm' white.
I would like to install white color LED lights inside, but I have a concern. When the doors close, I notice the stock bulbs dim. Since LEd lights don't dim, will this cause a problem?
How do I replace the light on the ignition key? ...sorry if this has been answered before but i thought it be a great question to add to the thread...does it just pop open?
To change the ignition light is really really easy. Remove the circle cap thing that goes infront of the ignition it just pops off. Then You will have to remove the plastic piece that goes under the steering rack. Only to screws hold it in place. They are located well one is all the way on left corner the other is on the right corner you will see it. To access the left one you will need to remove the fuse box lid. The it will come off. Disconnect the dimmer switch. You will see the clear circle that lights up on the ignition. Just wiggle it lose once it comes off you will see behind a type or bulb that is screwed on. Just turnit counter or clockwise I forgot and the bulb will come out. Just pull the bulb out it will have this weird type of skin on the bulb type of material. Then just insert LED and put everything back together. If this is confusing just say what it is and I will try to do a write up.

i did a small search and couldnt find anything about replacing the lights under the shift knob. the orange lights is so dim you cant even tell there is a light on.

LEDs dont dim? ...u mean when u have the door open the interior lights go on correct? and when u close the door they turn off correct?
LEDs should work the same way. They go on when u have the doors open, and turn off when doors are closed. and also, they will last u a long time, so they wont dim or die out as fast as regular bulbs
ive had all my LEDs in my car for a year now and theyre just like new
Well yes in a way. The stock bulbs slowly dim off when you just close the doors. Will this decreasing current cause any problems to the LED bulbs like flickering?

i doubt any flickering will happen..at least from wat i have experienced wit my LEDs.
I have them on license plate, dome light, glove compartment, trunk, and as courtesy lights...and no flickering wat so ever. And its been bout a year
