They still won't grow on me. Nissan needs to have them incorporated as a sweeping row just below each headlight's bottom border. Now that would look niiiiice. These 'stickons' look like they are too close together and each light is too big. Might as well have made just a single bulb that goes in the middle of the grill...real iron man style.

Well If they come out with that, I will look into buying that too

I like em. I just wish Nissan would have designed them into the front bumper from the factory. Like the Porsche. It has them low to the ground below the headlights and it looks sick during the day. Pic never tell the whole story bro but again I think it looks nice...

Led lights
 

It looks good but I think mine look better!! They are blue and they are wired so I can run them day or night!! I will add a picture soon!!

does anyone know if these are also design to fit the 2009 370z NISMO?

I like the way you did your lamps.
what brand are yours
Greg

always wondered how they would look on the car....not exactly my style but def like the idea of it. glad you like it though! and thanks for posting!

Love it
 

I just got myn370z with the daytime running lights OEM. They are great. Perfect fit and a nice look.

First time seeing these on an actual Z. Thanks for posting. :tup: for safety!

post a pic of mine

Looks good, when did you get them installed?:tup:

yeah...this!!!

Look like buck teeth to me. Just my 2cents.

Sorry, but i am not loving the day time look! It looks awkward. It just doesnt work for me.

DRL's are a solution to a non-existent problem and look hideous on all cars, OEM or not IMNSHO. And I think people who put the aftermarket DRL's on cars to emulate the Audi's and Porsche Panamerica's would be better off spending $10 on a dayglo vinyl windshield banner that says "LOOK AT ME".
I predict that the fad will go away and in a few years they will be looked upon with as much mirth as the "white out" look of the 90's or those horrid aluminum louvers on hatchbacks in the 80's.
Yes, I know the argument is "safety" but I call BS. It's an ill conceived fashion statement. Like putting a bandana on your golden lab.

I like em, the yellow not so much I think the blue ones kenhdcgov has look great! :tup:

Thanks Nmjaxx9! I think the placement is wrong for the Nissan lights. They don't work with the fangs. They should be in the grill area some place. It would work much better and give a better placement eggect, I think.

I agree with cheap aftermarket knock offs fading away, but I have to disagree with you on the "LED fad" going away... Its just getting started. Companies like BMW and Lexus among a bunch others will soon be replacing HIDs with LEDs... which only means the technology is only going to improve from here on out.

Agreed.

Agreed x 10!

We will be hard pressed to find something that works with the NISMO without some sort of modification. I am kicking around the idea of modifying my NISMO bumper with some of the Stillen cues or just changing to the Stillen bumper. I need more of an open area in the front. Not focussing on the DRLs, but I would like to run a set if possible!

I too got the OEM drls and have a question: I noticed that on each side, some of the LEDs look brighter than the others that results in uneven look. I think the brightness should not differ from one led to another. Is this the case for your drls or is there something wrong with mine?

Not sure... mine came with my used car.

Amazingly, 5 bulbs are out, so i disconnected them and will be taking them out soon.

Dim Leds
 

Hey guy, just a quick note, I have gone to the Nissan Dealership 3 times for the dimming light or no lights but a few thing and each time they order me new ones. Then after a while they do the same thing again. But this time they kept my car over night and wow when I got them back they are so bright and look just like the ones you see on the Mercedes and Porche models. The tech explained that when they are getting these lights shipped they are not connected tightly together so in time as the car shakes and rattles they become more loose and then grow dim. He said mine was loosing alot of watts. They crimpt all the wires and lights one by one and man what a difference. So I would suggest to the Nissan dealership to try that or call Jackie Cooper Nissan in Tulsa Oklahoma, Tech Bob somoe YEARS of experience with Nissans and can tell them how to fix them.

To each their own, I guess! $690 for two LED strips is NOT worth it for me!

Darkside has a sweet pair or LEDs and sent me the link to the site....Appreciate your assistance man...a true Z Addict! Keep me posted on any other discoveries.

The OEM daytime running lights have been re-called. The two inside LEDs slowly dim over a few months. No word from my Nissan dealership about replacement either.

Philips DRL-4 Kit
 

For under $90 I got the Philips DRL-4 Kit you see here. I wrote a DIY for the installation, which was surprisingly easy. I think they look great and make the car safer. (Putting them on the fangs was my idea. I like it because they match the lines of the headlight assemblies and look very integrated.)

Dont hate them. I think it looks good. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and will install next week. Looks good.:tup:
I bought an 8" set.Going to do a full write up on the install during that weekend. I'm planning to wire them to a Toggle switch inside the car so I can run them at night or during the day. Pictures and write up to follow.

Notr for Nighttime
 

I find that my DRLs are too bright for nighttime use--they would blind on-coming drivers. I was originally going to wire them to a console switch, but dropped the idea when I saw their power. The Philips controller that comes in the installation kit turns on the lights with the engine, and turns them off when the headlights are on. I decided that behavior was a good idea.

This looks much better flows with the front more puting them on the fangs..I have drl on my v3 nismo front bumper..will post pics later.

^^Im curious to see them.

Recommendation
 

Hey there Smitty,
You might check out Carbon Signal on this site. They have some outstanding CF parts.
You can order either a whole package or specific parts. I did the parts route. They have pictures on their site and I do as well in my photo shots. It does take awhile to get them but they are " on the one"! Going to get my baby today. Pictures to be posted soon! Peace:ughdance:

this is how I wired my phillips set. In my opinion the best way because its the way they are intended to be used as Day Time Running lamps...

here is a pic..lol I paid 19.00 for these drl led they are black housings and quality is pretty good they are visble during sunlight. I don't know how someone would pay over 600.00 for 2 led.

Not a fan of the vertical look... but this actually looks pretty cool.

DRLs & Fog Lights
 

I had a hard time finding a fog light that would fill the outer fang area, when I came across a set on E-bay the projector type units used blue covex glass, but lacked a reflector in the housing. I tryed using a LED but it wouldn't produce enough light, so while they appear OEM the element remains incadesent & appears somewhat primative when turned on. I like what gy954 & sunkist have done utilizing the inner fang with a angled vertical look. I still don't know why I didn't see this but will be working towards set for my car. Good job guys

Is there anyway to have it all on at once with the HIDs?

how is that different than buying a Non-american Jap Sports car that yells, "Look at me!" That doesn't really have all that much power to it. For the same $ you could buy a lot more base HP. Though I think this car is best suited for the twisties rather than straight line racing...

:owned:

My dealer is contacting your dealer for info on how to fix this....
