Guys, ive heard you can get replacement panel kits that light up the 300ZX part in the middle....does anyone know if you can get one that illuminates Red and comes on when you hit the brakes??

 

Maybe one that is on all the time with the lights and then brightens up when u hit the brakes.

This site does them as well, but very expensive though.

That is very true, but currentley there is a 'Technical Hitch' to this, so I'm currentley not doing any untill all the problems have been resolved 100%.

 

People have done these in the past, but there are a few financial problems involved. Fisrt off, the EL parts arnt cheap (no matter what anyone else says they can get them for), secondly each panel would have to be done on an exchange basis, and good ones arnt always easy to come across, but if the owners own panel was used, then that owner would have to take the risk of haveing the panel crack on dissassemble (which happened to one of mine)

 

Anyway I'll let people know when I have anything else to report.

Dave theres a gap of 3 or 4 mm between the layers, was thinking of using the demal and cutting a section out? any ideas as u have had one apart?

Yep seen this done on the Jap ZX site, it'll work, but you'll have to be very carefull on your cutting depth, as the slightest scratch on the black paint of the face plate WILL show up once it is illuminated.
