New member and a quick noob question
 
SO I recently just purchased a new 2011 370z base model about two weeks ago. Of the various small things I have been doing to the car I wanted to swap out the various bulbs in the front headlights and 2 in the taillights. I purchased some 8000 k bulbs and am now about to purchase some LED turn signals and some parking lamp bulbs as well as reverse lights and tailight turn signals. However, the question is if it is possible to swap out the tiny front side marker lamp and the side turn signal lamp (Z logo). The reason I ask is because the type for those two is stated as just LED and there is no wattage given. If it is possible to change these please let me know and what kind of bulb you can use and thank you for your time

First, let me ask, what K are the OEM lights? I want to say they are around 6.5-7K just looking at them, but do you know the actual rating?

4300k for stock headlights

If OEM is 4.3K why the hell put 8K in there? Ricer as hell and you lose a lot of performance from the standpoint that 8K renders color a LOT worse than 4.3K would.

Don't do it. At least, not until you get your 2' spoiler and lambo doors put on. That takes priority, lol.

Ask Tony he can give you a run down on lights.....
