Is it possible to make the Z logo lights clear and blink with the turn signals? If so, I am interested.

clear would be white which hasnt been released nor will be in the near future if i remember correctly.

When it does come out though, you will be able to wire it to the blinkers

Just curious... LED window washers Squirters=RICE, NEON UNDERGLOW KIT=RICE. TIRE FLYS (LIGHT VALVE STEM CAP)=RICE.

BUT LED Front bumper lenses isn't it?

IM just curios about this, I mean looking at the pictures it reminded me a lot of a HONDA CIVIC. I mean most people install LED "lights" to draw attention. I mean it really serve's no purpose? I just find it funny since the front bumper lenses are only available in the 350z I guess it makes it ok to LED it up? TO me window washer LED's and front bumper lenses are pretty much the same thing isn't it? Or does this really serve a purpose? Im just curious cause Im sure if a CIVIC, INTEGRA, ECLIPSE... ETC.. had LED on his front bumper he would be called a RICER without a doubt. Im not saying that having LED's at all is rice, hell to each their own. If you like it that's your taste. Me personally I save the LED's for my Christmas tree where they belong. Now the side marker is a different story, its purpose can be used for safety etc...

It'd be a lot better if the color was white rather than blue. If it were a whitish look, it could be seen as unique looking foglights but without the purpose of actual fogs.

i didnt want blue believe me, but the thing is, that evo-r in NYC hasnt produced the z4 LED marker in white yet so it was either amber or blue, and i didnt want the amber so i chose blue. Hence to match the blue z4 marker i decided to get clear sidemarkers with 3 blue LED's in them......i was only trying to match i never in my wildest dream would have chosen blue from the get go......

yes, they are clearly blue, Evo can feild the questions about theres. I havent seen a set uninstalled, so Im not sure how easy/hard it would be to swap out the LEDs to white. to be honest Im not sure why they dont have them out, as you cant physicly tell white from blue from amber. but Im sure they have their reasons.

this is only I think the 2nd or 3rd set of blue Ive made, this being the first Ive ever photographed. its a bit more attention grabbing than white or amber, white blends, looks like it was made to do it and matches the headlights, you dont see it as an aftermarket peice. but the blue certainly will turn a few heads.

forgot to answer that those are 5mm. 5500MCD 15degree. luxeons would be even more lit. go hassle shim and sins for installed photos of the luxeons only 2 out there right now with them. seanrulz and webiteks will have 7 led this week and a few others with 3.

Ares I dont know if anyone has asked lately but how possible/expensive would it be to have say two rows of Leds, more likely the less expensive type and have one row wired to the blinkers and the others always be on and wired to the parking light?

What would be the cost on this? I emailed you before but something like this is what I really want

Also, I like scilianos sidemarkers but I think another two, one at the top and one at the bottom would really filled in the empty spots there. I understand though that you probably wanted to keep with the theme of the 3 dots

Ive done as many as 2 strips of 16. and wired them with seperate leads. that setup gets up around 200+reflector.

as for 5, it can be done. it raises some other question on the details, but it can be done.note that IMO the camera exaggerates the brightness. the second pic from the bottom is the most accurate.

Looks GREAT!!!

Sorry guys, but Z4 LED Side Markers in WHITE LED should be out within 2 month, it's the issue of getting the right size and brightness white LED for the Z4, and it sure doesn't help when our factory is backed up on production of other products. So for now ONLY amber and Blue Z4 LEDs, but we do have all 3 color of LED (amber, blue, and white) for our Front Concept LED Reflectors. Thanks!

I'm also interested in something like this, I'm thinking two rows of 5 would be more than enough, or maybe one row but wire everyother one separately. Also is it possible to have the plastic part still orange instead of white? Let me know about costs, I'd like amber ones not sure on the number or lights...
