Not a fan of the vertical look... but this actually looks pretty cool.

I had a hard time finding a fog light that would fill the outer fang area, when I came across a set on E-bay the projector type units used blue covex glass, but lacked a reflector in the housing. I tryed using a LED but it wouldn't produce enough light, so while they appear OEM the element remains incadesent & appears somewhat primative when turned on. I like what gy954 & sunkist have done utilizing the inner fang with a angled vertical look. I still don't know why I didn't see this but will be working towards set for my car. Good job guys

Is there anyway to have it all on at once with the HIDs?

I predict that the fad will go away and in a few years they will be looked upon with as much mirth as the "white out" look of the 90's or those horrid aluminum louvers on hatchbacks in the 80's.
Yes, I know the argument is "safety" but I call BS. It's an ill conceived fashion statement. Like putting a bandana on your golden lab.

how is that different than buying a Non-american Jap Sports car that yells, "Look at me!" That doesn't really have all that much power to it. For the same $ you could buy a lot more base HP. Though I think this car is best suited for the twisties rather than straight line racing...

After a month! My dealer said that calls to your dealer went unanswered. They ordered another new set of LED lights and took my car for a whole day. They had Nissan Tech support on the phone in the afternoon. They said the old pair had loose wires in the back and the set actually worked fine once the wires were moved in the right direction. Anyway they installed the new set in a tighter wire config and said they bundled the wires in the back so the problem will not come back.
We will see.
The new set looks great though!
