Nissan does not offer a DRL kit. However there are a few different makes for aftermarket DRL modules. Here are a few suggestions:

Designtech DRL - available from many places including Autobarn, Amazon.com, eBay, etc. just

DEI 545t - DRL module, automatic headlight operation (on at dusk off at dawn), and wiper activation (turns lights on when wipers are on). Also available from many online retailers, just

You can also read more about the DEI 545t here on the forums as a few members have installed this accessory in their Rogues:

Try Pepboys in irondequoit. Why do you want drl anyway? It doesn't look good in my opinion. Check Association of drivers against drl: http://www.lightsout.org/Put some Leds to ignition and it will be much cooler.

What do you mean put "leds to ignition"?

Also, even if I don't use the DRL, I like the fact that in darkness the lights go on, and when the windshield wipers are on the lights can come on or if keyless entry is used they can come on.

If you don't have the DRL yet and will use the DEI system that others have used on the forum could you theoretically put this to any lighting option? Maybe running the DRL mod (to ADD DRL to the Rogue) to the fog lights? So the fog lights run as DRLs?

What I'm saying if you buy a set of led stripes then connect them to ignition wire so every time when you turn the key the lights will go on. Isn't it DRL and will look 100 times better than original headlights?

The problem then becomes how to mount the LED's. Modifying the existing headlight housing is possible, but it's also against the regulations and if your state/province imposes mandatory inspections your vehicle would fail the inspection.

I took Leo's LED idea and expanded it and put a strip of white LEDs between the hood under the bug deflector and body. Well can't figure out how to get the picture downloaded here.
