Anyone have Nismo oem's they wanna get rid of?

Ventruck · 04-18-2020, 12:10 AM

If anyone's curious to how it looks on a 15+ Nismo bumper.

Had this done at Z Car Garage while I was bringing in the car in for maintenance. Couldn't do this myself in an open parking slot, and can't lie that I didn't trust myself to do a proper job with the harness connection to the battery. I believe they had to replace that same fuse Taco mentioned.

Visually a lot going on. I'm more into the main projectors instead of the DRL's, as well as the black housings which I've been contemplating for a while, but the whole thing in action is pretty nuts.

Not sure if you guys have seen this video.

They look best on a dark colored Z. Not as good on a light colored.

Looks good Ventruck. I think the black housing and smoked lenses look great on our black cars. So much better than that OEM chrome!

I love these so far. Just waiting to get the z cleaned up and some good photos to post more here.

They look good but I still think the stock ones with some demon eye mods and switchbacks look better

I do want to get the tail lights I really like those. But I know everyone has their own opinion on them.

Just got an order confirmation email from The Retofit Source (Billed to Z1, where I ordered the headlights) for the fuse tap harness. As someone stated before. The Harness is supposed to make the DRL brighter. DRL works right now (with parking lights on) it's just not super bright.

The battery harness really didnt seem to do anything so my guess is the 1st preorder batch was given wrong DRL harness.

I got the same email. Also ordered from Z1.

My shipment came with the harness, but it wasn't the fuse type, it had connections for the battery and chassis terminal.

Without that harness, you should not have any DRL with your headlights off. But with your headlights on, you should get a dim DRL. So that harness is needed for the brighter DRL only when your headlights are off.

As I mentioned, my 6A fuse blew. So either they supplied the wrong fuse/harness, or I was one of the few to even get a harness?

I do have it connected to battery so it's probably the same fuse issue you had. I'll double check my connections too, or just wait to use the new fuse harness.

I replaced the 6A fuse with a 7.5A fuse as the auto store only had 5A or 7.5A. It seems to be working well so far.

It was the fuse. Swapped it out with 7.5, all seems good now.

Hopefully the 7.5 are ok to use. Usually fuses are rated a certain amperage to protect the load, in this case the LED’s. LED’s don’t generally pull much current, so I’m surprised the 6A blew. I’m thinking of backing down to a 5A and see what that does.
