Im sure if you go to Advanced Auto Parts or some other place you could find flat lights and figure out a way to make them fit.

I had thought about this for my Z as well. I planned on using 4 VW Jetta signal/running lights (the ones between the fenderwell and door on the front quarterpanels), 2 for front, 2 for rear. Probably Ice Blue bulbs on all. To go about getting these to mount flush, you'd have to take off your quarterpanels and weld mounting brackets inside that are countersunk, then just attach the lights as they were meant to on the car you pulled them from. Then you either work some sheetmetal around them to fill the gaps, or it's BONDO TIME!!

Once I buy new fenders, I'll be performing this.

Hope this helps,

There's an "Advanced Options" menu below the space you type a response in, it has several options. Click the "Manage Attachments" button, and I'm sure it's self-explanatory from there on out.

Hope that helps,
