[Rob.Vegan]

Looks good.I have led's as my turn signals but i want to add some for running lights

i just dont want to overkill the led thing sorry its sideways i will fix it in a few minutes

I'm gonna be doing this to mine as well. Quick opinion since i have the 6000K HID's, blue or white would look better? I can't decide =[

I wouldn't recommend blue for the outside of your car, that'll get some unwanted attention from the boys in blue.

yeah, we've been doing these for a few months now... the only thing I would suggest is that folks get the ones Importroller, Ursus, and myself have for a couple of reasons

1. The spacing of this style LED you have makes them look like christmas lights... the further spaced out they are, the better the effect... like this



2. Because of the flimsy design of those LED's, you have to be perfect when installing it, otherwise, they will come out looking crooked. if you look at your lights, they look a bit crooked.

Other than that, I like the concept.... especially since I stole it from Audi first!

awesome, thanks!

@blackmobile: hmmm yeah thats probably true. i havent been pulled over for anything in this car *knocks on wood*

[spockrock]

how did you wire the LEDs and has anyone found a 12v source that runs when the car is on?

[djnastie]

i used butt connectors and spliced them into my parking lights. i disconnected them anyways b/c im getting eyelids

[losenone]

Theres a writeup in the 2007+ Altima forum. It's for the sedan, but the wiring should be the same.

Here are the pics from the night shoot.what do you guys thinK???

[notaverage]

Night pics look clean!

[LeGeND42o]

Looks good djnastie, what did you use to hold the LED strips? I have been thinking about these lights but i dont know if too much with the halos.

[Alt.ImaCoupe]

Looks great to me. The back end is really clean without the badges as well.

i got them from oznium

[rjdmmfl1]

ehh, I never really liked it on Dangeris' car, and I still don't care fot it too much... not for running lights... look at this...

big difference between those leds and the ones you have.... On Ursus's car, you can see the individual led's... on yours, it kind of looks like one long neon bar... but maybe that's just the way it looks with the camera at night!

DJnastie, from ~ 10-20 ft away, can you see the individual led's in person at night, or does it look more like a neon bar? Just curious. this info will help folks out that are considering this mod... IMO, its a night and day difference between the two looks... one way really resembles the look of the Audi S6, the other, not so much!

[djnastie]

you can see individual lights. they are just closer together.

I agree. Seeing his debadged car at the last Chitown meet convinced me to debadge mine (so I did and I'm lovin it now).

I'm disappointed that I'll be out of town for the meet on the 4th. I'd love to see this look in person. This is something I want to do to my coupe, so I'd like to get a feel for it more than from pictures if possible.

[djnastie]

yea u wanna c it im always available on the weekends. lemme know. i think the lower grille fits better than the LED's Do. it looks sooo clean!

they come with 3m double sided tape. i tried to do halos but the problem was i had nowhere to mount them.

[uh-oh_8_coupe]

looks very clean man, where did you get them from?

[coderedk]

how do these lights hold up to the weather? rain snow etc..

[alphapig]

Hmm looks like there are just too many LED's there. There isn't enough space between them, like on the Audi.

Look a bit crooked to me as well :/

yeah Vlad, my sentiments exactly!

[BlackNWhite]

yeah Vlad, my sentiments exactly!

Ditto for me once you pointed it out. I like yours and the guy with the sedan with the overlays on them.

[djnastie]

ok so i just ordered the other ones from oznium they are 12" strips and they leds are spaced out.

[losenone]

Pics look great. I ordered the 12" White LED Strips from Oznium on Saturday, hopefully i have them by the middle of the week.

[NISMOT]

They kinda look cheap ( NOT TO PISS ANYBODY OFF), AND THE AUDI LEDS ARE BIGGER AND MORE DURABLE BUT I GUESS THEY LOOK OK
