The bulbs only blink, they don't stay on. I think even IF my bulbs are dual filament they won't stay on and blink because the wiring harness is not set up to stay on, only blink. I wish I could see inside the bulb but because it's silver I can't tell if it's dual or single, maybe the model number tells you. I just put these bulbs in today.

 

Weird, well keep us posted on how those APC's work out. When I was looking for chrome turn signal bulbs I almost bought those but a fellow 350Zer near me said his started turning yellowish after about 2 months but hopefully they fixed that.

 

Hmmm....well I'm hoping since the glass color is actually silver and it's not just "spray" painted silver it won't fade due to time and use. I know for a fact that spry painted bulbs tend to fade but i have yet to here of silver glass fading but I will keep my fingers crossed.

 

Daytona350zr, those APC bulbs are the same ones that I have in my Z. They run at 27w as compared to our stock at 21w. This probably means that they run hotter and therefore have a great possiblity of damaging our housings like someone else mentioned in the beginning of this thread.

I'm currently looking for some that light up at 21w and I will let you guys know. I am also trying to find some silver colored backup bulbs that emit a bright white light to match silver rear turn signals in rear. Let you guys know if I find something.

 

the dual filiments, the stock lighting setup would illuminate both at the same time. bad. they are sposed to be 1on at a time.

be sure not to get a 7443 filiment bulb. 7443 LED bulb is fine.

also for those saying a certain bulb wouldnt fit, youll see wedges on the base, go at em with a dremel till its flat. theyll fit then. brake lights(7443) have these wedges. 7440 does not. if its a glas bulb with them, then its dual filiments, and dont use it.

 

The evostyle are expensive @ $22 a pair + shipping... but their cleancut website influences me into thinking they're of good quality. Anyone know if they're 21 or 27W?

 

I already emailed them regarding that. Just waiting for a reply.

 

Excellent! Let us know 350zluvr or zxsaint with word....

 

Here is the response I got so far from Stealth Bulbs:

Thank you very much for you interest in Stealth Bulbs. At the moment, we do not have the 7440 bulbs in stock but are most likely going to do a small production run of them in the near future. We were not initially planning on making these bulbs until the end of the year but due to a large surge in demand from both the 350Z and the RX-8 crowd, we are probably going to offer the ability to pre-order these bulbs very soon. If we get enough pre-orders, we should have these bulbs in about a month. Do you have any idea how many people you know would be interested in pre-ordering these bulbs? The information I can get, the sooner we will have them in stock!


Thanks so much.

Todd

PS: We are going to be offering xenon white bulbs coated in our silver Stealth coating in the near future as well.

I emailed him again asking for the wattage of these bulbs as he does not mention this in his email. Will let you guys know when I find out.

too bad they burn amber and not silver

 

their supposed to burn amber, thats the idea. silver coating, amber light.

but they dont come in 7440.

 

"PS: We are going to be offering xenon white bulbs coated in our silver Stealth coating in the near future as well. "

What's the point getting a chromed turn signal that shines white?

Why not just put a white bulb in there? After all, the idea is to
remove the orange reflection which will be non-existent with a white bulb, anyway.

I actually almost did that, but I saw someone else with white bulbs and it looked way too cheapy and ricey. This is a 350Z, not a civic.

 

I'm not looking to get that for my turn signal but rather for my backup lights. I bought some hyper white bulbs that light up a light blue tint for my backup lights but they are actually blue in color. To me they just look ricey, but I don't want to take them out and replace them with the stock bulbs since it would be like what is the point for getting these brighter hyper white bulbs - you know. Anyway, now I am trying to find a bulb that will match my rear turn signal bulb in appearence when off, but light up a bright white color when turned on.

 

Well guys I think we might have found our source

Evovision sent me back the following reply:

Hi,


EVOvision bulbs run at the standard 21W. This is comparison to some of our
competitors who increase their wattage up to 25W or 27W. Pushing the bulb
power over the standard 21W can be damaging to the light housing. Some
manufacturers seem to overlook the fact that the bulbs warm a bit more quickly
than a standard bulb due to an increased heat containment by the coating. We
identified this possible problem early and polarized the deposition process
(for the coating) so an increased percentage of the coating transmits more
light without having to increase the power output. EVOvision bulbs therefore
run much cooler than our competitors bulbs. As far as a chrome bulb emitting
white light, that we cannot help you with. Please feel free to e-mail us
anytime you have questions!

Thanks for your interest,
Mark

P.S. If anybody would be interested they can either post here or PM me for a review in about one week, as I'll be ordering my sets (front and rear) today. But I'm quite sure that these bulbs are top-notch qualityand will work optimally with our Zs.

If you scroll down their store front page they even have a set for the 350Z which contains (2) bulbs for the front and (2) bulbs for the rear. - Perfect!!!

 

Any chance of doing a group buy from them?

 

I'll ask

 

did someone say group buy ... I'm in!

 

Thanks for the info I just ordered these I hope they work out.

 

I'm sure we could get 20+ for a group buy...

 

I'm in on a group buy.
