Hey guys, I've searched the forum but did not find anything regarding these LED DRL's installed on the M.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_605 ... nQodyBoA_A

My question is, do you this these would look ricey on the M? Should I just wait for a suitable LED DRL headlight mod and/or custom headlight? Forgive me poor photoshop skills here's what they'd look like..

thanks for the input!!

Personally I do not like them---all the lights are round on the car and then these dashes....

I put bright CFL halos on my custom fogs and it works quite well in the daytime.

Very old picture but you get the idea:

Thanks for the reply! On second thought..yea.The round fogs dont go with these square lights, it looks like a pep boy mod and doesnt belong esp if there is a fog lamp right there.

Cool halos btw.

Are you looking to do this for a 'coolness' factor (to differentiate your car) or are you just wanting to operate daytime running lights without the whole lighting system being on? If it's the latter, all Canadian models (by law) have a daytime runnining light module. I believe they turn on the high beam lights only, but on a slightly lower output than full nighttime high beams. They operate anytime the car is in drive with the parking brake off and the full lights are not on. Not sure whether you can order that module from a US dealer, but it is an official Infiniti part. If you are interested, I can confirm the operation and even get the part number for you from my dealer here, which would at least help you confirm whether you can get it easily.

little bit of both, I was looking at the LED light bulb in the highbeam housing but its rather dangerous if I ever needed to use the high beams on the road, could you confirm the operation for me, that would be great!

Thats really expensive for such a small thing. And lots of people here have them, in one form or another. Here are what mine look like:

old ones with lots of LEDs very close together:

Newer ones I changed to with the LEDs spread apart a bit more:

Oh, and they cost $14 total. Got them on Ebay, stuck on with heavy duty double sided tape and finished with electrical tape over it all for a cleaner look and to cover wires
