Well if 12.8v fine I will just replace both sides. I don't think I would like the fact of one side looking different than the other side on a 350z thanks.

I think the Z uses 168 bulbs which are slightly dimmer than a 194.
194 is one of the most common bulbs out there so I could start converting over to those. And if it's a front marker it would be wise to do both at the same time so you don't have to pull the bumper off again in a couple weeks. |

Change it to LED bulb it will last longer and it would brighter.

+1 on the 2 replies above.
Drop in LEDs, easy peasy. No bumper removal required. Just dont get stupid bright LEDs for stuff like parking lights or "DRL"s like some people do. They should be shot. |
I thought you couldn't get to the marker from the fender area and had to pull the whole housing.
My bad. |
