Cool stuff, you modders must have a lot of time on your hands for all this mod stuff, I wish I did too.....I barely have time to wipe every day, sometimes I don't.

My '78 280z has this mod. Quick drain drain plug. It was on there when I bought 7 yrs ago. Makes oil changes a snap.

I think LED bulbs for the parking lights and rear license plate lights are a good cheap mod as well. I think you can get the bulbs for like $10-20 bucks and it only takes a couple mins to put them in.

I'm curious about the rear license plate and parking light LED bulb quality and longevity. How long have you had them, did you have any issue with them...and can you provide a link for where you purchased?

Thanks man.

I've only had them for like a month now and got them as a gift from a friend. I'm not sure where he got them from, but no issues so far.

I know that some people here have them from V-LEDS.COM | LED Dome, Map, License Plate, Reverse, DRL, Turn Signal, Brake Lights , and from personal experience, I can say the bulbs are quite resilient. I have had the same pair of 194 5-way led bulb on my cars for 2 years now with no issues. They are a little more pricey than some other websites, but definitely worth it.

Thanks for the info!

I can't speak directly to the ones linked in these posts, but I can say that I had LED bulbs in my last two Vettes from a different vendor for several years w/ no problems at all! Great improvement over the dim yellowish light of the OEM bulbs.

Once I found that the Vette and Z uses same bulb over the license plates, I just ordered another set from the vendor I used previously on the Corvette Forum.

I added another cheap mod to my to do list and thought others might like to as well.......

Anyway the stillen grounding kit is <$100 and is worth while putting in. Found my old Z (z32 TT) ran much better after I installed the grounding kit FYI! Just reduces the interference from other electronics.
