If I can do l.e.d.'s, anyone can...
My first D.I.Y. project for the Z was these L.E.D. side markers. I liked the way they looked, and after seeing more and more people making themselves a pair, I decided to go for it. For all intensive purposes I'm electrically handicapped, haha, but I did aight. I bought the leds from Autozone, they came 3 in a pack somewhat preassembled with wires and stuff. Made by Pilot if I remember right. So basically all I had to do was, take off my bumper, remove sidemarkers and drill holes for the leds, glue the leds to the back of the sidemarkers, then wire em up, and put the bumper back on. It really was as easy as it sounds, I could probably do it in about a day taking my sweet time. Cost me a total of 30 bucks for leds, wires, connectors, taps, super glue, and silicone.

Well the one on strictlyz.com is like 99.00 , but they give you a brand new reflector. Still a lil costly though. I think the one for 200 that your thinkin about has a grip of leds. Anywho, thanks the the compliment. I'm kinda proud of em myself, didn't know I had it in me. Next thing you know, I'll be flashing my own ecu.

should have sent you the link I guess. I do the amber LED conversion. 20.24 plus 7$ shipping. thats on your own reflectors. or add 27.85 for a new set of reflectors to it. I dont make a whole heck of alot of profit off mine as you can tell. mostly just a little spending cash for me. but since Ive been doin these so much, I can knock out a set like that in about 30 minutes so the profit is fair.
200$ is alot, but gotta remember that includes 64LEDs.

check it out, I definitly dont discourage doing your own. there is not anything Im doing that you cant do, my list of tools is a dremel, drill with 5mm bit and a stopper, and a soldering iron. it just take me 30 minutes what would take others 2 hours if they can solder.
