Installed LEDs in our friends 93.
Wife's 91 stock vs his 93 with LEDs

Did you ground the fog lite relay or use the LOAD RESISTOR method or...?

I grounded it by bending over lug 86 of the fog light relay and soldering on a ground wire.

Yup. That explains why the fogs are ON with the high beams. I guess that must be illegal in some areas - to have the fogs AND the high beams on @ the same time. Well, anyway...that's how they operated from the factory (no fogs w/ the high beams on). Personally, I don't see how it matters. Even on LO beam, if I turn the fogs off, I can barely tell a difference. But, I opted for the LOAD resistor's "plug and play" option: could have saved a few bucks by grounding the relay tho.

Anyway... LED headlights make a night and day difference!

I have LED headlights and LED Fog Lights. i added one relay and they all work like stock.

Relay was added prior to the LED conversion and still worked like stock

This weekend I changed my mind and removed the ground method.
I reinstalled a new relay and went with the 168 bulb method instead.

IMHO this is a better way

One added relay:
Cut Lt Grn ON OEM Fog Light Relay
Power side of Lt Grn to Pin 86 of New Relay
Pin 85 and Pin 30 of New Relay to Ground (New Wire)
fog light side of LT Grn to 87a of New Relay.

I found the Same style OEM relay on a harness and cut a length of wire with the relay socket.. I removed the terminal from the OEM relay and moved it to the new relay. Put this new relay right next to the OEM one in the dash.. works great

That's how I plan to do my wife's Z.

I decided to do this one as simple as possible for a friend of ours that doesn't do very much on his own cars. (headlight removal vs. under dash hush panel)
I even bagged a new 168 bulb with instructions and placed it in the console.

What LEDs are recommended for a 90?
