Default Is it safe to remove the parking lights for good?

I can't stand the way the parking lights (the little 194 bulbs) look while the headlights are on. I know I could buy some LED lights or whatever, but honestly i just want to take them out and leave them out completely. My question is this, will this have any negative effects, like short a fuse etc?? I'm not electrically savvy so any info would be nice. Thanks.

not that Im familiar with. the turn signals blink faster if one is removed. but I dont think the parking light is hooked into that function. should be fine.

you know you want the LEDs though.

More like 20in in front and 19in in back!!

I was like "WTF???" at first too but realized it must have been a wide camera lense that gave that Z the illusion that it's wheels were so huge.

Looks like a a full-nismo kit with track wheels.
