hmm... me no like. But, hey, it's your car and if you like... it's all good!

I think I'm just going to go to the white reflective lens (no LED).

Just follow this thread:

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=13976

You can buy the LEDS from superbrightleds.com

Part no. RL5-W3030. You use 200ohm resister instead 470ohm from the other thread since the LEDs are different.

As for the driving light bulb, you can buy them at supebrightleds.com also. It's called Single LED Wedge Base Bulbs. Part number: WLED-W.

You need to buy 6 leds from superbrightleds.com, either amber or white, or whatever color you like.

Also need to buy 6 led holder, which I use rubber grommet.

Then buy 2 resistors to drop the voltage from 14.4v to whatever the voltage is needed to drive 3 leds. Most of the process are labor, soldering, etc.

Very nice!
That... I need to get.
So, when's Strictly Z coming out with those!?

BTW, does it look a bit blue? hmm... I wonder how the cops are going to react to it. Should I get clear sides corners with amber LED's?? Maybe... maybe not... we'll see what Strictly Z comes out with first.

Love it. Somple as that. The only problem is that they are way too blue. It is illegal, at least in Jersey, to have any blue lights on your car unless you are an emergency vehicle. e.g. police car, volunteer fireman, etc. In fact you have to have a permit to do so. My friend received maybe fifteen tickets for having blue corner lights on a 200SX.(yes I told him to remove them after 2! ) It looks cool but isnt worth the hassle in Jersey.

It's actually not blue, but seems like blue in picture. The actual color is white, like the hid color. Not sure why it appears blue in pic, maybe it's my camera

White LEDs are actually blue LEDs... but have a yellow
phosphor that emits a whiter color when lit.

Therefore, some blue is emitted and the camera picked it
up early.
