this will give you a start anyway. any led with a wedge base to replace a 194 syle bulb will work. you could probably even find some at a local auto store but those dont look all that great and usually dont last. with l.e.d.s you get what you pay for. what i love about mine was i had clear lenses and the l.e.d. bulb was clear so when it wasnt on you didnt have a nast red bulb sitting behind your nice clear lense but as soon i started the car it lit up red. since i got rid of the v6 and i'm leaving the z stock i put one of the l.e.d. in my bikes front parking light. i will try to get you a picture after dark of how powerful 1 l.e.d. can be

cool i see they have the blue ones, so ur saying these will be much brighter than the stock red 194 ones i have now???? also are these a direct replacement without damaging anything??? no cutting or special wires?

only if you have the clear lenses for the rear markers, if you have the stock red then obviously it will come out some reddish purpe color. the stock bulb behind the red marker lense is clear so the lense is what makes it light up red just like your tail lights. this is why i put l.e.d.s in my clear markers because the car was red and at night with the regular bulbs it lit up a nasty yellowish color. No you wont have to cut or wire anything if you get the 194 wedge base l.e.d. it should be a direct plug in. hope this helps.
