I got mine from street ambitions too... they ship UPS, mine came from Atlanta.

Saw a video on it as well - incase you want another install video of these - and to the person who was asking about possibly changing/buying a 2015+ Nismo lights - you might want to hit the kid up on YT or FB

Video:

I’m still on the fence and feel with that price - I would rather put it towards some performance mods but....at the same time - seeing them on your rides is changing my mind haha. He also shows some night shots as well in the video.

Cant’ wait to hear more about this mod from others and some long term reviews of it as well.

So I just got off the phone with Adrian at TORQEN, they should be finished for production in a couple weeks, then delivered the week after. So early half of July is hopefully when people should start getting tracking numbers.

Thought I'd put this here in-case anyone else has ordered from there

Just got my lights yesterday. I'm so excited. Unfortunately, I can't figure out where to plug in my drl harness. I plugged it in and the drls just stay on, no turning off. Also, my fuse box is not the same as the one pictured in the morimoto pdf instructions on their website. It does just plug into a 10a slot, right? Thanks for any help.

So I just installed mine today. Yes, it is a 10a fuse. It is the second one from the top left. They should have made the harness wiring go vertical instead of horizontal when you plug it in after pulling the original fuse. It was kind of a pain in the arse to close that box! Do you have a pic of your fusebox? That is weird it is different.

It seems like my lights are high by the default setting. Did any of you guys who installed yours have similar experiences? Anyone else lower the beams?

Mine were high too.

Actually another thing I noticed is the blinker seems to project a bit high. I can't tell if it's because of the vertical layout or that's also angled.

Yeah, my car is pretty low and I can see the cutoff on the highway signs lol.
I briefly thought about lowering the beam but meh, didn't bother to. I drive often on backroads with one lane per direction and nobody has flashed me yet.

My confusion is which fuse box do you have to plug the DRL into? There is a fuse box next to the battery, (that would be too easy) and one inside the car. Im guessing its the one inside the car? Please post a pic for the peeps struggling with this. Again I agree these lights were worth the wait. Thanks

One more thing. I noticed in the video that when he turns on the head lights the main projector lamps cascade when they com on.. (1,2,3) mine just turn on all at once. Did I miss something? Do your lights cascade when they turn on?

Fortunately it is that easy and is the one next to the battery. You just remove the battery cover and cowling and you can access the fuse box. Here is the installation manual in case you don't have it (I could never find it on Morimoto's site). Great pictures and detailed instructions make it a breeze:

Another user had posted it previously but that link doesn't seem to work anymore. Hope that helps.

So heres a picture of what i assume is my fusebox.
When I plug in the drl fuse relay in one of the 10a slots, it constantly stays on. I turn off & lock the car, the drl's are still on. What do i do to fix it?

It's not that one. The correct fuse box is off to the left of the battery. I've attached a picture that has the fuse box circled in green. The red circles show the fasteners you need to remove to take out the battery cover molding. Once that is out you just remove two fasteners to take out the cowl and you will now have access to the fuse box. Push in the two tabs at the top of the fuse box and slide the unit out. There are two more tabs at the bottom and the lid will come off revealing the fuses. The one you want is at the top left and is the second one down. That should solve all your problems!
