Installing Day Time Running Lights (DLR)
 

Hi 370z fans,

I'm new here so Hi everyone and nice to meet you all!

I just bought my 370z from the States side, it's currently being shipped over but I wanted to ask for some opinions to where should I go to get day time running lights installed?
Don't want to get ripped off! I know I can go to Nissan and probably CND Tires but I'm open to other options as well.

I would appreciate any input!

On some vehicles, DTRL feature is something that can be programmed/activiated in the ECU, like my brother's Z4 M Coupe. Not sure if that's the case here. There may be a DIY thread for installing DTRL on this forum.

Paskii, I'm curious as to how the import of Z went or is going. Warranty? Taxes, duty, compliance other than dtrl?

Thanks djpathfinder i'll browse around DIY and see if there is anything there. I basically want to find a place that can do it for a reasonable price, but I don't mind doing it myself as well.

The process of importing the vehicle so far have been relatively smooth. I had to work with a broker and pay some unforeseen fees besides that the vehicle price is still much lower than buying it here in Canada especially with the dollar reaching parity. The car is on the road still but let me give you guys some figures.

Current total is around $38,500 and change for the car, duty, tax, and shipping. You can save an additional $1700 if you drove the car up but I couldn't get time off. If you guys want an actually break down I can put it up. The car details are the following:
Color: Blue
Transmission: A7 (I know why auto, well when i shopped around stick cost more lol)
Package: Sport Package
Options: Navigation Unit
Extras: Carpets & Trunk Mat

Let me know if you have any questions!

Definitely curious about the process and the fees involved. Sucks for everyone not in Alberta how much more you pay because of provincial tax. Had you considered importing a Nismo since we can't get that here?

A module you can buy that comes with all the required wires and shows you where to put them.
