Hey man good to see you are still active. Hope you are doing well

Retrofitting the DRLs to older models was a popular mod when the DRLs first came out back in 2013 or whenever. There should be a good bit of information on the forum. Try using your favorite search engine and adding the phrase site:the370z.com to your search string to narrow results to ones from this forum only

Although I can pretty much guarantee you that you will have to wire them up yourself. My 2011 certainly doesn't have anything wired for a DRL.

Thanks

I will do once I am out of self isolation. Confined to a room because I have had the pox. Feeling a lot better now. Easier to do and read on a computer screen. Just spending the time researching.

Now do I go for OEM Nismo DRL or aftermarket LED ones? I have a 2015 Nismo Front Bumper to go on.

$8 to put the Nismo Logo on the seats. I’ll add another topic about what is being done in the interior

That might be a question for your budget. It's been a while since I looked at any of these items, but IINM the Nismo DRLs are like $800 apiece

There are a number of aftermarket options for half that price or less. I even think some of them look better than the OEM DRLs. But that's your call.

Yeah budget is fine or should be, but trying to decide.

What would be really nice is if I could get a custom job that also does turn signals in a way Audi do them
