Apparently the 2014 washer fluid bottle is larger and the DRL's would not fit. Luckily a 2009 Z was in the shop getting a Stillen bumper put on, and it turns out the the 2009 bottle is smaller. Shop had to order a 2009 washer bottle neck from Nissan to fit the 2009 bottle.

He did not want to paint the bumpers while trying to fit the bottle, so teh paint did not get scratched.

Two weeks later, looks like we are back on track.
why would they make it larger?

My 2011 reservoir holds an entire gallon of the washer fluid. I just refilled it literally for the first time this summer (5 yrs 3 mos since purchase).

Beats me. Maybe because of the different shape on the 13+ bumper they figured they could fit a larger bottle, or it's a Canadian thing (regulations on fluid volume). That other Z could have been bought out of US. Beats me.

Had to put the Z into hibernation...

Don't feel too bad. I almost cut my finger off while jacking up the car last month. Stopped the jack with my left hand before major damage happened. Scared the ish out of me.
