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
