Yap cheap and with your DIY thread on the tail lights even i got it done with no real problem.

The bulbs are at Amazon for $3 each (got mine in yesterday). I now need to find how to access the third bolt holding in the light assy.

The nuts are behind the large plastic panels on either side of the hatch.
8mm IIRC. Once you have that undone, pull the tail light assembly straight back without rocking it. It will come off with a "pop".

Thanks. The car is a roadster, but I will look at removing whatever panel is behind the light housing area.

Any reason why you guys choose to do the Amber lights? What bout clear? Think cops would really be that much of a pain?

This is what i put in and my tails are lightly tinted, i did it about 8 months ago no problems here. Then again the Z is not a daily driver.

i think it cost about a buck or so
