They either had a blue Z, or someone's (bad) idea of market research suggested blue LEDs are the "in" thing, therefore they should be made with that color.

I'm sure Unlimited Tuning is selling whatever products they can purchase (i.e., they don't make the products themselves), so if the main company doesn't yet sell anything other than blue, Unlimited Tuning can't purchase anthing other than blue. The upside to this type of business is the small amount of funding necessary to get it going, the downside being you're at the mercy of what other companies choose to manufacture/sell.

I'm a big fan of ORANGE

Red sills on a black car would be gorgeous.

it can be very easy or impossible. depends how its made. evo-r for example with their z4 rings cast the led into the part or atleast did a good job looking like they did. thus for all intents purposes, the LED and part were 1. if this is the case, you will not replace the LED without a fight.

Thanks ares, like you said, its not that easy, really depends on how it is made. We have already informed our supplier regarding "ORANGE" and "WHITE" suggestions we have received, I will keep you all posted, but it seems "ORANGE" has more votes.

after further examination... I noticed. that looks nothing like the sill plate, it does closely resemble the strut brace though.

Our Z4 LED Side Markers are actually 2 pieces; (1) The Z4 Ring & (2) The 2 LEDs with wires. The 2 LEDs are held in place by tiny bit of hot glues and can be remove to do LED swaps. BUT swapping LEDs on our Z4 Side Markers will most likely be unnecessary since we have all 3 color LEDs (AMBER, BLUE, and WHITE) available. (unless of course if you want them RED, GREEN,...etc)

you guys still arent quite figuring out that this peice is not what you all think it is. meaning orange, blue, white, red, violet, dont matter. its for the strut bar, not the sill plate.

I am all over this, although I suggest that you consider making them avalible in a variety of colors (I personally am looking to experiment with red on my Super Black). From what I see you should be able to construct them with any color accent.

Anyhow if you could clarify where these actually go
