HID: I'm going to keep stock.

Parking light: changed to LED white/blue 168 made by PIAA:

HID on, Parking Light on (with my garage light on to mimic daylight). Notice the parking light isn't too overwelming. It just got rid of the old dull light yellowish oem bulbs and replaced it with a speck of blue.

Parking Light on, HID turned off. Front view in the dark. This /whiteblue light will only be seen when parked. It will not be this blue when your car is running since your Day Running Light will be on to take away the blue:


Next project, replacing the OEM turning bulbs which I dislike since it makes the surrounding area reflect it's bulb and ruin the whole white/silver theme of the cubby: See below:


I'm going to replace the turning signal bulbs with these:



Notice they are clear in colour which will make the headlight cubby all white/sivler. But when those signal lights are blicking, they will be an Amber colour.

I will be installing these at the end of the week if my Hyper white H7 blubs for the Day Running Lights are delivered this week.

I Wish I could do a DIY write up on this but my hands are always dirty when doing car work and that wouldn't be good for the camera.

I hope this helps people decide what they want to do when it comes to lighting.

 

Well done Young!!!

Now do you want to buy my G???? She'd make a good winter beater!!!lol!!!

 

So I got bored and like a kid with new toys, I installed the clear LED signal lights and did a DIY in the process: https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/154080-d-i-y-getting-to-the-headlight-area.html

Now for the bad news. The LED signal lights blink way too fast. You need to buy a resistor to make it not blink as fast or buy LED with resistors already built into them. But the problem is, I don't know how to install the one with the resistors already on them.

As per the attachment, I can see how to install the wedge bulb(third picture) one since it just plugs into the socket(first picture). But the one with the rigister(second picture), I have no idea how to install that. Anyone able to shed some light, no pun intended.

 

The one with the resistor you posted is just the wrong style/size of bulb altogether. Should have one in the right style bulb too unless they just can't fit the resistor into the wedge style bulbs.

 

You should be able to put a small resistor is parallel.

 

I did a little more research, check it out, Now my problem is that I'm not an electrical guy and have no idea what installing this resistor intails. Do I have to do some wire cutting?

johnlotusboy, do you know how to install this resisters?
dkny_boi, can you buy singal bulbs with the right resisters already in the bulb so it won't blink as fast and do you know where they can be ordered?

No, i'm not sure where would sell the ones with the resistors built-in... i had bought some led bulbs... can't put my mind on the site, but i just got parking light leds and brake light leds, but the site also sold the same type of resistor you posted.

From what i remember, you simply use those blue splice/taps... to splice into your existing wires (one wire into the positive, the other tapped into the negative). Someone correct me if i'm wrong, a bit rusty on my wiring/load. And no, with those type of connectors you don't need to do any cutting, just a pair of pliers to clip them on.

-edit- there's pics in this post below from a guy showing how to install the resistor. it's post #142 in that thread:

dkny_boi, you sir, are the man! Thank you!

 

That's it simple.
