Led daytime driving lights

rhood · 05-15-2010, 06:13 PM

Im sure you can wire these up to light up at night, but I think once you see them and how BRIGHT they are, you wouldnt want to. Also since its a Nissan product it comes with all the wiring and harness so no extra wiring or splicing involved. And once again I have to say they are NOT yellow at all. As a matter of fact the Nissan service man couldnt believe how bright white they are, he thought is was the led's for the Porche.

I'm still not liking them.

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.

rhood · 05-15-2010, 08:39 PM

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

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

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!

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.

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...

lazer_Z · 04-19-2011, 11:34 PM

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!

WxMan · 01-25-2012, 12:53 PM

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

kenhdcgov · 01-26-2012, 05:12 AM

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

kenhdcgov · 01-28-2012, 02:55 AM

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.
