Installing it is pretty easy with some basic tools like a socket set etc. Both kits come with the "clamp type" taps, but it kept falling loose, so I soddered the wires together. Wraped it with some heat shrink and it's worked perfectly. It comes on/off with the rest of the lights so having a separate for the light alone isn't really a big deal. Most people would likely leave it on anyways. OP, if you have some basic mechanical skills, just do it yourself and save some cash. It just two wires, very difficult to mess up.
I can change an alternator or put in my own intakes, exhaust etc, with instructions. But I get nervous with electrical but I think I'll give it a whirl. Sounds pretty easy. So I would like it to stay on but brighten when its braked or reversed. Actually I wouldn't mind it blinking in reverse only.

Speaking of blinking. Going slightly off subject. My wife was parking the Z. I noticed when she put the car in reverse. The center brake light blinked like 3x. I thought this was a really kool feature. Never noticed any other car do that before.
