Hey has anyone changes their side Z emblems to something that possibly lights up? just wondering if you did, how u did it!

 

I believe there is a kit where it adds a ring light around the emblem behind it much the the bmw z4 side marker light emblems

 

Well i want to totally replace it with this

and i dont want to break the car.. do you think a place would do it for me, and what kind of place?

 

I don't know this happened to anyone else, but a guy i ride with had them and they blew off. he followed the instructions word for word and they blew off a few months later.....i think he said he might have been speeding...maybe

 

omg!! they just blew off in the wind!!? holy cow!! they are 300 dollars!! for 300 dollars mine better not blow off!! i glue what sh*t down!!! ill sauder it on there!

 

^ lol, agreed...they look pretty nice....and any body shop should be able to do it for you

 

is 300 dollars worth it for the product? how much do you think a body shop would charge to install?

 

Mine are actually arriving on Tuesday. I won't be putting them on until the weekend since I'll be down in Nashville, but I'm hoping everything goes okay. I ordered them from the link below...

I liked them since they kept most of the factory look when they weren't illuminated. Good luck with everything.

 

i have a LS with the orange kit, i love them because when they're lit they're orange like the car, then when you turn the blinker on, they have a yellow blinker to it.. not only does the ringarounf light up, butthe Z also does

 

hey thanks for the link! those are cool emblems! do you kno about the installation?

 

On that link page I gave you, there is the installation instructions about half way down the page. It says you actually have to get them and download them from there since the instructions don't come with the side markers. It's a pretty straight forward and easy installation with pics. Check it out.

 

$300 is definitely not worth it for the emblems you posted. Installation is not for the faint of heart. The instructions say you can install without taking off the wheel ... BS, maybe if you had the hands of a small child.

I did one side at a time. Removed the wheel, plastic inner-well lining, and popped the stock emblem off from the inside. The part that takes the longest is removing all the 3M adhesive goop that remains after you removed the stock emblem. The trickiest part is tapping into your parking light and turn signal wires.

I payed $177 for mine shipped and installed it myself. To me that's a pretty good deal considering there's about 30 (6 for the blue, 24 for the amber) invidual LEDs in each emblem.
