Rigid Driving lights added w/ pics

caneman88 · 10-20-2012, 08:17 PM

Switched out my truck fogs to new D2 Rigid so put the old Dually's on the Z
Also put a new Nismo S-Tune on old one got hit by a retread tire going around 90
Should be able to see me coming now!

Opinions everyone has one

The Z is not a pick-up!

IMHO

quagmire87 · 10-20-2012, 08:36 PM

Looks good! Doesn't look weird like other ones

Thanks for the input I know the Z is not a truck I was just looking for better light output at night when driving the lights stock lights on the Z are not very good Nissan should have put better lighting for night driving either Factory Fogs or driving lights. The last pic is just parking lights and Rigid lights

I'm not a fan, however I'm sure I'd appreciate the extra light output. And you can definitely pull that look off in Texas.

dirTy_shoeZ · 10-20-2012, 11:10 PM

I didn't like it but hearing your logic I could definitely agree.

LakeShow · 10-20-2012, 11:58 PM

It's alright, definitely better than what I've seen people attempt in the past. For the purpose it's great, aesthetically it doesn't really for the car.

Pickup was the first thing that came to mind, but if it makes you safer, that's more important. I transitioned from the crappy bulbs on an old camry, so the Z feels really bright already to me.

Would probably be worth it if you could hide them behind the grill somehow...

.c2 · 10-21-2012, 03:32 PM

Have you thought about putting it behind the fangs in the very corner of the bumper where those fake vents are?

I am going to try this see how it looks in the fang hole I have driven the last few nights and the light output as much as the HID's everyone that has seen it in person says it looks great. you guys are a tough crowd but I asked for feedback.

jlo370z · 10-23-2012, 10:14 PM

your installation is good, but they look aftermarket or an after thought (which they really are and thats not your fault

) id want it to look like it belonged there or like it was from the factory to do it.

Id like the extra light you have now though LOL

Make a plastic bezel to go around them. It would look more OEM and less "after thought"

Xplicit97 · 10-29-2012, 07:56 PM

I'll say I like them.. Been iffy bout fogs on a Z, but function over form.. And in this case function doesn't look half bad either.. IMHO
