Z side badges on 370Z

[herbzman]

Jan 09 issue of Car & Driver has 370Z on the cover and inside there is a closeup of the round Z badge on the fender and you can clearly see it is now an amber light behind the Z. Don't know if they will light up when the lights are on or when the car is started. Am wondering if they will blink with the turn signals. Hope someone out there is willing to be the first to install a pair of these badges/lights on their 350 and post the instructions. I think it will make an awesome mod to the 350.

Not sure but we shall find out soon when we drive the 370z during the tour.

Actually, the answer is "yes, they do light up"

Yea, guess they loved my idea. I've had them done since the car was new back in feb of '07, but did anyone give me any credit... HELL NO! Sometimes Nissan should ask a current driver what a car needs before they do some changes, for the better of course! http://s194.photobucket.com/al...0.flv

they had those light up things since like 04

[cuffuup28]

yes they have, but people have been acting like it's something new... gotta do your research people!!

Right on! http://www.courtesyparts.com/3....htmlI always liked the ones from courtesy parts.... the actual OEM Z with the squares light up.....instead, I went with the LED front turn signals & parking lights that replaces the front reflectors.

ick. looks to be a traditional bulb rather than Led. Like the way it cuts in and out. That would be the first thing to replace for me.

Don't care for the ones from Courtesy Nissan. Thanks for the reply tho'.

[herbzman]

Where did you obtain the Z emblems shown in the video? Thanks.

[herbzman]

The ones I've seen have an illuminated ring in amber, white, etc. that fit over the badge.

Dasoupdude, The video isn't the best. They are led's behind protective clear plastic.

herbzman, I got them at courtesyparts.com, but they don't sell them anymore. They went to the one's that have the 3 led squares only. Don't know why... you really can't see them flashing as well as the one like mine. I haven't seen them sold anywhere else, but they really get people talking when I go to car meets. Most people have the ones that look like they stole them off of a BMW, and when they see mine are like "did you make those? Where did you get them? Those are WAY cleaner looking than mine!"

The badges that cuffuup28 bought at Courtesy were made by a member from another Z forum....the guy stopped making them....I think one of the reasons were that the Z did not look like the OEM Z....plus some problems with them too!

[cuffuup28]

That's a big negative (sluggoZ) unless that member lives in japan. I bought mine from Courtesy, but they shipped from Japan. The instructions weren't even in English! I have never had any problems with mine either... not to say that someone else hasn't, just not me.
