How hard is it to replace the parking light bulbs? Do you have to remove the bumper? Is there a guide somewhere online?

Thanks a lot

For the parking light bulbs, all you have to do is pull back the pastic wheel cover, turn the wheel to the right when doing the left side and vice versa for easier access.
I have the load equalizers installed to prevent the lights from blinking retarded. It was no big deal, you don't have to "cut" the stock wires, just use those wire spice connectors that they supply with it.

3ohm, therefore, you only need one per side (total of 2).

I received an e-mail back from autolumination. They are the same diameter as stock (3/4"). I orderd two 7443's for the taillights and two 194's for the parking lights.

I decided to go with red LED's in the back because that seems to be what everybody else is doing, plus they are cheaper, $9.99 vs $11.99 for clear.

Pretty inexpensive so I'm interested to see the quality.

No just for turn signals.

Second thought, you don't need them for the 350z, but if you have a BMW or a car that detects burnt out taillights, you would need a load stabilizer (resistor) to get rid of the message.
