If you don't mind me asking, what was the total for all the lights?

Thanks,

Did mine (Map Light, Trunk, and License Plate) over the weekend and its a huge difference. You will like it. I was amazed! Took about 5 mins for the whole thing.

Next weekend will be the Front Parking Lights and Reverse Lights. This may take a bit longer....Blah!

The way to remove is to use a plastic trim tool. They are pretty cheap and lasts a long time. I have used a flathead screwdriver with a cloth in the past but the plastic trim tools are the best.

These are a worthy investment as long as you plan on modding your Z.

might i suggest testing them with a couple of pieces of wire and a 9volt prior to installation. that way you know they work and no shorts. if you plug them in around the plate and they have a short you'll have a fun time finding where the fuse you just blew is... ask me how i know lol
