Do some research please. This is almost too easy to answer. Your Z, being a 2007 model, comes with HIDs STOCK. There will be no need to buy a conversion kit.
Because you apparently don't know the basics, here is what I'd go for.
Phillips Ultinon 6000k D2S bulbs.
You don't place the HID bulb where the turn signals go...that'd make zero sense as you'd be flashing your HIDs everytime you signaled.
Pop your hood, disassemble the back part of your headlight...unclip your 4300k stock D2S bulb, pop in the new one...and you're done.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this...but your HID unit is completely seperate from your turn signals. Once installed, you'll still have your turn signals.
To operate your turn signals...simply push the left lever down for left, and up for right.
To turn on your headlights, turn in a counterclockwise motion 2 clicks up.

They are not HID bulbs. The bulbs are acutually LED's called swithbacks. The LED is a combination blue LED AND amber. The amber is only activated when the turn signals are on. Also this mod will not work on 06+ models only 03-05 Z's
You see the 03-05 HID are different from the 06+ models. When you retrofit the 06 headlights to a 03-05 the wiring is different. The wiring in an 03-05 causes the signal light to stay on whereas on a 06+ they are obviously only on when activated.
So what some of us 03-05 guys did was take advantage of this and replace the OEM bulb with the switchback LED. The bulb stays blue until our signals are activated then it switches to amber. i did the same mod with my 06 headlights. Refer to the link posted below. I started a thread on it.

Hello guys! No HID is available to turn signals, just LEDs lights. OEM Z's just replace the bulbs. For hi beams the entire conversion kit is needed. Please visit our online store WWW.SAGAHID.COM We have all you may need. 1 year warranty in HID kits including digital ballasts, plug & play and waterproof. If support is needed due to language barrier just let me know via pm or through the contact area of the webpage. Regards.
