Install is very easy with the factory brackets
Make sure you remove all the bits and pieces from the brackets and the PIAA 1100's bolt right fast, no holes to drill.
You remount the bracket back into the position it came out of.
Make sure you use the wiring harness that comes with the PIAA's, the stock wiring isn't heavy enough.
Follow the directions that Tuan has on his site.

If you have factory fogs you don't need the brackets.

I installed the PIAAs on my 03 Z and can say they are very bright. They ought to be since they are driving lights not fog lights.
