I got mine today and installed them as well...I only ordered two because I wanted to install and see them before I bought 2 more.
My review:
-The packaging was good but not perfect. The black foam seemed old and sluffed off onto the lights. Other than that it was perfect.
-The lights themselfs look good. I pulled out my 4 month old cycolites that I bought off Ebay and could not tell a difference however. The evostyles blink just like stock. The amber color is the same as well.
-One negative thing that I noticed was when they blink I could see inside the bulb and it looked slightly dirty but when they are not blinking this is not noticable.
All an all I am happy but will probably install my old cycolites in the rear instead of buying two more of these.

I can't believe I was the only one that knew about this company!
I think they need a 350Z in their before-and-after gallery as the change in appearance for our Z's is quite dramatic compared to some of the other cars. If I had a digital camera I'd send them shots of my beauty (although, putting an amber bulb back in there would be a pain in the a**).
whosdady; I think I know what you're talking about with the "dirty inside", I saw something along the same lines and I thought I scratched the bulbs up when putting them in so I took them out and it turned out to be some little foam particles that were static-clinged to the coating on the opposite side of the glass so I couldn't see them from the top. I just took a soft cloth and wiped it off and they were back to perfect.
BTW, if the group buy is still on I would be down for taking the plunge and getting a pair for my rear signals.

What is the part number that you all got? I am confused. I went to there site, and there is no 350z there. I am getting the bumper taken off by the dealership and I want them to put them in. Thanks <M>

Yes this is exactly what I was talking about. However, I also have something inside the glass. It is not apparent unless the light is blinking. When it is blinking I can see inside the bulb and see particles inside. I'm assuming it is the same staic particle stuff that is on the outside. The only problem is we cannot access the inside of the bulb to clean it. Its not a major issue to me but to others it may be.

I inquired about the Phillips bulbs through several different distributors and the ones that replied back all told me that Phillips does not currently manufacture the Silvervision bulbs in the 7440 size. I even tried some different bulbs that have a fluorescent- purpilish-clear look (look very nice) and even those are not manufactured in the 7440 sizing.
I received an email back from evostyle and they could offer a coupon code that could be distributed to members of a group buy. They realized that they could not calculate how many people would be in the group buy ahead of time as to figure out the total discounted. My guess would be that they would offer only the 15% discount, but I am not sure. This would be the first discount that this company would offer to anybody.
I have to send an email to them as soon as possible letting them know of what we have decided to do, so let me know who would be interested and any opinions or suggestions about the matter. Thanks

Well I could but I would need to know exactly how many are in so I could have something to bargain with.

I just got my bulbs from evostyle today. I tried to put them in and.........HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET TO THE TURN SIGNAL BULBS?!?!?!?! The only way I see it happening is by removing the inside of the wheel well. If that's the case, how do you remove the plastic on the inside of the wheel well without breaking the little clips?
