GReddy 370Z Daytime Running Light (DRL) kits

I wonder if MR, or 180 can do something like this in the lights with the landing strip? I like the landing strip, even though its not everyones taste. Possible??

Question to anyone who has done this: Do you think you could mount the LED strip about 1 inch farther out from where they are now in christian370z pics....I am wondering if you can have them start there because I know the light starts to curve more, do u think the strip will break? I just want the look to be going up into the curve just that little bit more...........


I am still undecided on these....



christian370z - pics look good



Someone (plz) should photoshop a pic of headlights with landing strips done and these done to see what it would look like to have both........

In retrospect, I should have placed the lights so that the strip is aligned with the leading edge of the headlight assembly but I wasn't sure if I would have clearance issues with the bumper so I decided to play it safe. It turns out there is plenty of clearance so anyone who is going install these should mount them up to the leading edge of the lense.

It's because Im taking the picture from above to not get the glare and it is where it curves around..

The LEDS are all evenly spaced as its a strip.

Maybe he ment that there are too many LEDs on the strip. The length is right with it covering the entire light, but less LEDs would give better spacing.

Your LED's are "outstanding" where did you get them and, more importantly, are they likely to be lasting?? I await your reply, my colleague,

Anyone contact Greddy asking about why the leds dont reach under the parking lamp like their advertisements display?

I cannot get an answer from them. Also I cannot get a return authorization from them !
