I need to pull that housing out and see what materials they used. I'll also need to get some metal work done (I'm terrible with metal work) so we'll see.

Do you know any kits for the g37 or 350's to get led headlight set up? Possible something similar to the audi r8.

There are a couple of kits I've seen for the Gs that have LEDs around the head lights that look pretty good. But I have no idea about the Zs. I'd do some searching around on the exterior mod forums. I'm 100% positive we're not the only ones that want to change this.

The Audi's new LED strip they put under the head lights are freaking cool. I don't know if I'd do it to my car though because that's an Audi thing. It's like putting the halo headlights on non-BMWs... Wannabe.

I like to go custom if I'm going to do something. I like to be original and not jock others. That's just my thing though. If you want to do something like that to your car, it's all you! Do what makes you happy.

The Audi LEDs look great, especially on the road. Not a big fan of adding LED strips though, especially at some of the prices they charge. You could pretty much get an exhaust for the prices they charge for custom LEDs/headlights.

True. That's why you DIY! Go to an electronics store, pick up a set of LEDs (you'll only need about 12 or 14) and get a ballast. Then it's just a matter of drilling and fitting.

That IS how they should have looked stock.

AK370Z, Wow those are so sweet. That's what I want to do with my ride when I get one. Is that some random picture you found or is that yours.

I find all this angst (not referring to you specifically here...I'm speaking in general) about things like daytime running lights and rear wipers and no display of tire pressure a bit odd.

Personally, I always drive with my lights on (sometimes parking only but normally all)...my 370 (and in fact most of my vehicles) have/have had the auto-headlight setting and I rarely use it. My 2000 Z/28 had DRLs and I thought there were a bit stupid...if you want lights on for safety then having the LIGHTS ON is a better solution...DRL are for people too lazy or stupid to understand that (no offense to anyone, really). If you want them just to look "cool"; that's fine but why blame Nissan for not putting something on the car some people think are cool and others think are stupid/look bad?

As to the rear wiper...what is the big deal??? I NEVER used the rear wiper on my 350 and the only vehicles they are actually a benefit for are vehicles like SUVs which have a vertical or almost vertical rear window (because road grime and water tends to collect there)...a sweep rear window will rarely have that problem.

I can point out vehicles costing multiples of the 370 that don't have some of the equipment/features the 370 does have as well as features the 370 doesn't have and that they don't have either...if Nissan put everything on the car that anyone could possibly want so that it would please everyone; the car would weight 4,500lbs..and cost far more...I can only imagine the screaming that would generate and people clamoring for all the unnecessary do-dads to be removed from the car!!!

True.. but they could've made those as an option.. then whoever wants to pay more for the "cool/unnecessary" stuff then, they can.
