I'm 6'2" and can't stand sitting in the driver seat! I feel like I'm in a truck cuz it sits so high. Do any other drivers have this problem and have done something about it? I've moved the seat as far down as I could.

Coupe seats are the fix I've heard, but I feel you

Tiny bulb is turn signals

Empty Connector is where your low beam should be. DId you have headlights?

Here's my randon little question. I have noticed on my '04 sedan the front turn signals are not on when the lights are - they hve a single filament bulb. I have seen the discussions that include the number for the double filament. My question: Has anyone put the double filament in? Will it fit? Generally there are notches in the receptacle and I don't really want to take the car apart only to find the double filament bulb won't fit. Thanks.

A double filament bulb will fit, but it will only act as single filament. You need to get a 7443 socket and modify it to fit, as well as get new gaskets to fit it. You will then need to wire it up. I've done it, it looks great, but I have white city lights. IMO no light there looks better than an amber light

Reread what I wrote a while ago for low beam vs high beam and the bulb in the brown socket is the turn signal. The tiny bulb is a city light. The empty socket is for the hids. D2r. Did your car not come with a bulb here...? (wtf)

@ guy with seat question: 350z seats bolt up and sit crazy low.
@ guy with blinker question: this is one of the little differences between 03-04 and the05-06

Can you link to anyone thats done a z seat swap? I didn't think it was straight forward to fit them. Would open up new possibilities for me!

Nope it didn't come with the bulb. there.
okay tiny bulb city lights
brown socket bulbs turn signal
lower bulb foglight/high beam
empty socket, hid bulb
???



if all that's correct I guess I was just driving around using my foglights since I dot have an actual hid low beam.

now I get it. the foglight and high beam is one bulb and the hid bulb alone is only the low beam correct.

Yeah, I'm kind of baffled that someone sold you a car without even mentioning that

No link. But I saw it (and sat in) at Zdayz.
The guy said the brackets matched up, but he had to get longer bolts and put washers because they sat too low for his comfort.
