If you're talking about the iJDMTOY kit with the LEDs and some quick splices, It doesn't work. I bought the kit and installed it and it seemed to work great until I lowered the e-brake. The DRLs turn on when you lower the e-brake at day time, what iJDM doesn't tell you is that with the kit installed and when you lower the e-brake at day time almost every light in the car turns on since you quick spliced the parking lights with the DRLs. I'm talking about DRLs, parking lights, license plate lights and brake lights all turned on when I lowered the e-brake. That was not what I had in mind when I bought the kit. Just wanted the DRLs to be on with the headlights that's it. I've written two reviews on that kit and both have been deleted. They should tell you what you are getting with that kit. I took it off and left the LED light that came with the kit since they do match pretty good the color of the DRLs, but in about a week they blew a fuse. Just in case that happens to you or anybody else, the fuse is in the fuse box next to the battery easy to get to.

370z 2013 LED Day lights Kit, check that thread there are pics of the fuse box.

I appreciate this additional information. I always wonder about some mods that seem to be the answer you're looking for but unfortunately they' re not always correct.
