Found out why there is not one making 370Z front and rear lights. Turn out Nissan has a patent for the shape of their headlights and taillights. So to make one still have to shape like them and that will get in trouble with Nissan. This time Nissan is very smart.

Im sure they wouldn't mind if they were given a commission on every set.

I'm guessing, if you can even pitch it to someone at Nissan who could do it, that they aren't going to give a ****. Hope I'm wrong... I would love to see some new options out there.

Or if someone would make components to modify the tail light, I.E. New internals and lense. That way it wouldn't infringe on the "patent" it would simply be a mod.. Not a direct copy of Nissans tail light.

Also if there's a "patent" on the tail lights, who made these??

Nissan did. They're JDM.

Bump!

At this point it might be best to look into a custom/retrofit option similar to what the VIP guys do. An acrylic LED setup for the parking/brake lights and some chasing/sequential signals would look pretty nice...
