Smile 370z side (Z) blinker

Does any one know if we can order the side (Z) blinkers installed on the new 370z, and replace the side (Z) on the 350z 07-08 and older.

The new ones seem to be located in the same location as the ones found on the prior 350z models.

thanks

Do they light up? If so - I think there are other alternatives..

obviously they sell the aftermarket light-ups, but i'm pretty sure this thread is for those who like and want OEM quality.

my guess is that they will fit, but we will have to make a hole in the fender to accommodate the bulb housing. hopefully it'll be an easy diy.

Looks kinda tacky IMO, but then again I haven't seen it on a 350 so I wouldnt be able to judge

The 370 sidemarker are backlit. That is that the area behind the "Z" lights up. The aftermarket ones currently for sale only have the "Z" and/or the rim of the sidemarker lit up. (And they don't sit flush with the car.) They protrude out. The 370 sidemarker is flush.

The ones from Courtesy Parts are nothing like the ones on the 370Z. When I went to check out the 370 last week I noticed the blinking Z emblem on the side and asked the parts department if they could order some. I am supposed to pick them up on Saturday and I can see how they work on my '06.

After looking at the pic from Kwame's link I really dont know how it will work considering we dont have a big hole in our fenders. Can't say I am willing to cut big a$$ holes in my car to make room for a blinking emblem.

I'll post again once I have them in my hands.

I'll cut a hole for them! I think they're sweet! I don't know how or what we'll splice the wires into? Headlight? Blinker?

Is the 370Z side marker any larger than the one on the 350Z?

I was looking at it the other day, and think it looks really good. Even if it doesn't light up, it would still be a big improvement over stock.
