Then I strongly urge you to find someone that knows what they are doing to help you out. The lights on the Z are wired to the BCM, not a relay as in most older cars, and you run the risk of frying something.

The only PnP solution I am aware of is the "CAN-compat" LEDs. But I'm no expert so there may be something else available.

This sounds like your best bet. Or at least the easiest route.

Adding the resistors is not a difficult job just not something I would recommend for someone with zero experience. Shouldn't take someone with some experience more than an hour or so. Unless you burn something up

Thanks! I'll continue to do some research then and see if I can't find a foolproof way of accomplishing this.
