OP, we must have been thinking the same thing at the same time because I've been wanting DRLs as well and have been looking at the turn signal bulb more closely as well. Since it's a single-filament 7440 bulb, I didn't see why I couldn't mod the harness to accommodate a switchback 7443 bulb instead and presto: whit DRLs plus amber turn.
I bought the bulbs and new 7443 harnesses but from what you're saying, the Z already as a 7443 harness but the third wires are unused. I'm in for some DIY photos as well since I haven't started yet.
Sooo, while I was at it, I was wondering about the rear. It too uses 7440s for turn so why not get some switchbacks for them too but instead of DRL, they would be used to augment the reverse lights for more brightness. Even better if they're run through a pulse module so when you put the car in reverse, the lights will strobe a few times first.
