Unfortunately, I know nothing about the company, but I have noticed these on some people's signatures:

Default Turn signal bulb size??

Are the front turn signal bulbs on our Z 1156 or 1157 (single or dual filament)? Or are they blade-style like the parking lights? Thanks!

How can you tell if the silver bulbs you get are too high wattage? Has anyone bought the one's off Ebay and had a bad experience?

The bulbs are the 7440 size (1 filament).
1stogie, I actually know a local 350z guy who's headlight turned "foggy" looking right over the turn signal from running bulbs that were too high of wattage. It's permanent.
You'll know your's are too high when that happens.

the common watttage is 21 and 27. you want/need 21. but most places bump the wattage to 27 to overcome the light lost by the thin reflective layer. I guess thats normally not a problem, but on the Z it is.

I'm confused

Let's say you install the silver 27W turn signal bulbs, front & rear. They are not on constantly, only when you put your turn signal on. Here's my question: Do these bulbs actually get so hot that they discolor & warp the lenses from just flashing? The average turn signal is probably only on for about 30 seconds at a time. I could understand having problems if they were on constantly, but I just can't imagine them causing damage from only a short burst of light at a time.

The reason I'm so curious, is that I did buy the ones on Ebay, but haven't installed them yet, and yes, they are 27W not 21W.

I checked around everywhere (ebay included) and actually bought some from ebay that installed only to uninstall them later since they where 27W and would ruin our housings.

I bought some evo style and could not be happier. Thay are 21W which is the reason a lot of people bought them on this site. They do run a little bit hotter than stock but do not run hot enough to damage our housings.

I organized a group buy for these, which are available for the front and rear, and it should continue throughout the middle of May. If you are interested PM me and I will provide you with the details.

check out the complete thread about these bulbs here.

The bulbs fit great and they give you the clean look you want without ricing the car up. Plus you wont have any problems with the cops because they still light up amber. Remember....it's a Z, not a Civic!
