Default Marker Lights

Hey All,
I was wondering if anyone has pictures of a Z with marker lights installed, like the ones shown here:

http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merch...gory_Code=EA30

Just looking for a better view, I am interested to see what these really look like.

Thanks.

no pictures but they do look quite good in person. light could be a little more uniform at the very top where the 2 LEDs point away and they dim at the bottom. but all in all they are quite nice.

theres that new thing though thats in a thread around here somewhere zignals or something? never seen them, but they look pretty interesting.

Don't have any night shots but they do look great. I have them in blue on my roadster.

Here's a pic of the Zignalz ares mentioned. If you're interested, we have a GB going on that ends this Friday over at 350zmotoring. Just do a search for "Zignalz".

Oh, that is bad-azzz - I need to get in on that. Thanks! Before I commit, any chance you have a closeup pic of it with the lights off in the daytime? Does it look much different than stock?

Disregard my previous message - I found the pics I was looking for and they look sweet. I just sent in my money for the group by. Thanks for letting me know! I would have been super pissed if I missed it and had to pay $125 instead of $85! I imagine I am going to need to have them installed professionally, so any savings on the product will be spent there....perfect timing too because I can have them installed by the guys that are doing my audio system. Thanks again!

I have the ones you were first asking about on my car (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dneema...ea.jpg&.src=ph), and all I have to say is that they are not worth the money.

The ring itself looks very good, very professionally done, great fit (as you can see on the picture).

The light, however, is COMPLETELY unoticeable during the day and barely noticeable at night. The concept was good, but there is only ONE tiny LED in them, which explains you really can't see the light except at night if you are staring at them.

By the way, I believe these were made by Evo-R, and you can see more pictures of them on their site (http://www.evo-r.net/product/Z4LED/index.htm) but their pictures make them look much brighter than they really are.

Hey sundevil67,

Thank you for the interest.

As far as the installation goes...they aren't really that difficult. There is a link to the installation instructions on the first post of the GB thread if you want to take a gander. Your audio installer should be able to tackle it with no problem.

Mike

One reason we like to keep the original Z logo. It looks so nice, be shame to remove it.

So .... what you're sayin is - that I bought the wrong ones. It figures. Sigh. More of my bad luck with modifying this car - or just about anything that has to do with this car.

I'm not sure you bought the wrong ones. I originally liked the ones from Evo-R, but the more I looked at them I didn't like them bulging from the side of the car. I like how boogiemyke's look stock without the lights on.

Maybe the new shipment from Evo-R will be different. It looks like some people who purchased had some "quality" issues.

All in all, I think they have a good product or idea. I guess I just prefer the Zignalz a little more.

What does this mean? Are they still only using one LED, but that LED is now brighter?

Do you have pictures?
