got this on ebay for 15 bux.... looks blue cuz my camera i guess

I was initially going to go with the Greddy's but opted for these instead.

When I ordered them I ordered a quantity of 2 not knowing they were sold in pairs. Since I had and extra pair I figured i'd try someithing out. My window tint is dark, so dark that backing up is uhmmm interesting. Wanted to see what backup led's would look like. Not sure if I like them or not.

The strips are much more affordable than the Greddy's and look great in the evening, though if you're looking for actual drl's they are insufficent in my opinion.

Well, a whole bunch of LEDs are not working on my driver's side Greddy DRL. I will be taking off the bumper soon to relocated my ambient temp sensor anyway but I doubt there is an issue with my wiring as a couple LEDs are still lit.

I hope Greddy honors the warranty!

Looks like you have some bad resistors on those strips. They are the same thing from China they sell on ebay with the Greddy name. For this reason alone I will never buy ANYTHING Greddy!

Good luck getting them to honor that warranty, or even getting a hold of them at all :ugh2:

That's what I am worried about, I haven't heard many good things about Greddy customer service. I will be checking the wiring though, maybe something on the install worked slightly loose or something. If that is not the problem, I am going to remove them as I am over the LED DRL look for the time being haha.

The DRLs are out, but VHB tape is > than Greddy DRLs. :(

Do you think they will give me a refund? Haha

I started to install a set and tested before hand and ea side had multiple diodes out.
Trashed them!

Ouch! $100 bucks down the drain :shakes head:

I bought them from someone else for $65 and they refunded me!

people with the ijdmtoy light, any problem with your led strip?? i just ordered a set.

....should have ask the question before buying them. :facepalm: lool

That's what it feels like, but I should have done more research before buying them in retrospect. I didn't even realize they were out until I by chance turned them on to get some light in the garage during a power outage lol. The one strip that snapped in the middle, this was the one that I literally took 15 minutes trying to remove it with a razor to leave in undamaged but the acrylic snapped immediately.

I think they look great, but I guess the novelty wore off enough to the point that I don't think I will miss them.

I snapped mine also trying to peel the VHB tape off of one side, and relocate it further down. Still works though, but POC waste of money none the less. I too will remove them soon, as I'm over the look.

That's good to hear :tup:

Ended up swapping my greddy drls for the JDM variety and I have to say that these are 10x better for less than $40!. The entire strip is encased in a clear rubber that compressed to a very tight fit, the length was perfect and they are much brighter. The subtle look of the greddy ones was actually nice though and the jdm are slightly more visible when turned off but in retrospect these new ones are obviously of high quality where as the greddy ones upon close inspection (when installed on the car) , you could see some of the plastic and wiring which appeared to by done by hand. The construction of these is seemingly perfect and made in japan.

Anyways, here's the new pics, just check my previous posts for the old ones!

note: blue tone is from my headlights :ughdance:

^^ Those look pretty good.................. and they didn't break the bank ;)

im not here to bash, but they suck. i purchased a set and i am super disapointed, u cant see them in the day time and at night there only bright when u look from the side. I contacted them and they said theyll refund all my money minus shipping. Great customer service!
if u guys want some pictures just let me know and ill put some up.

How did you guys tap the power line to parking light wire??

I was thinking about soldering or using those butt connector. Looks hard to do because of the lack amount of room behind the headlights. Or is there somewhere else where you can tap into the parking light wire.

Thanks

The easiest place to tap into is definitely the parking light wire, however you are right about the tight fit. I cut a very small section of the wire sheath off and used a crimp connector to splice into it. Another good choice would be a quick splice connector as that will be the easiest of all and are found at local auto stores/radioshacks: Quick Splice Connector with Male Disconnector (3-Pack) - RadioShack.com

I like the JDM's on my Z.
Sure, brightness is not the best during the daytime, but they:

• fit in the gap under the headlight
• wrap all the way along the bottom of the headlight

OMG those quick splice are the ****. At first, I didnt know how to use them so I check out youtube. Sooo easy.

Major rep.

I ordered my JDMs this weekend. They're supposed to be here on Thursday. I'm excited to see how they look. I shouldn't be disappointed knowing they aren't the best for DRL.

those quick splice are really bad. where they splice in, they cut up some of the strands, reducing the effective wire gauge where the splice is... which is compound bad since you are adding a new circuit off it. they work fine for some stuff, but dont ever use them for anything serious! and if the circuit ever goes dead, they should be the first place you look for troubleshooting.

I was just told by a supplier that the Greddy led kit for the 370z was discontinued due to manufacturing defects, a revision is due some time in the near future.

^ faillllll

I tried installing my JDM LED strips this weekend. However, when I had them fastened underneath the headlights, I couldn't get the bumper back on. I went with THESE lights instead of the ones that you can cut because I didn't like the way that it looked to be grouped in threes. Did anyone using this have this issue? It didn't feel right to just jam the bumper back on. They're all wired up to the parking lamp and look so smooth. I just think that they're too exposed being out on top of the bumper. Any thoughts or suggestions?

do you guys recommend tapping into the green parking light wire or running it into the cabin and wiring it to a 12v fuse to trigger on ignition?

I ordered the ijdmtoy led strip and want the effect of DRL's so on when my car turns on.

I would tap into the green; it will turn the DRL on as soon as you turn the headlights on as well as the parking light settings and is much easier to wire.

I already have wires running in the grommet to the cabin so I might as well run these through if the green wire isnt on with ignition. If i always have my headlights on auto and i tapped into the green when would the drl turn on?

this is how it look for the Greddy DRL...

Going to order JDMs tmr :P

how was the installation? Was it easy? What you use?

anyone know how the installation works for this?

i think you just remove the front bumper, mount the LED strip with its double sided sticky tape under the headlights, wire to your parking lights (markers), and reinstall your front bumper.

now someonew was claiming the dealer was blaming his LED strip for his damaged harness so read into that as well. the LED strip should not take any more than 0.5A... my guess.

Those look great, definitely a nighttime mod although it is very subtle and stylish during the day. I may order a set to see how they look. I've always liked that "Audi" look.

An old thread..... I tried to order the daytime running light (DRL) kit directly thru Greedy today and their sales division said they are DISCONTINUED.

bummer.....any alternative vendors?

Been searching the forum and nothing but big $$$ for an entire head lamp mod and others that look like challenging DYI mods. I need to keep the price down at this point and only want the simple $99 kit.

Don't bother getting the kit if it's hard to find. Get one from this site; much cheaper and reliable. Super Bright LED Car Lights, LED Lights For Cars, LED Bulbs, HID Bulbs, HID Conversion Kits and Car Accessories

My Greddy LED DRLs had multiple LEDs on both sides burn out after only a couple months, a waste of over $100.

Hey thanks Christian, the link Super Bright LED Car Lights, LED Lights For Cars, LED Bulbs, HID Bulbs, HID Conversion Kits and Car Accessories is a toy store. A total newb here when it comes to bulbs/LEDs, DLR's.

I could not find on ijdmtoy.com the clear bulb for the front headlights upper orange turn signal bulb that you recommended to NewYorkJon on your 4 sale thread. Not even sure if these are white when they emit or if they will look good versus some yellow bulbs to keep them legal in CA. Up for suggestions.

As far the DRL, I am at a total lost on what to get or will fit.

Here is the post from the 4 sale thread: http://www.the370z.com/845154-post25.html

Btw, thanks for the feedback on the Greddy LED DRL's, I ran across your post with photos and could not tell what went wrong with them, other than they looked like the plastic housing broke in half. Good to know Greddy discontinued them as like you said " a waste of over $100".

Majestik, how did you connect the LEDs?
