Default Finally a set of driving lights for the fangs

I've been searching for some lighting that fits in the fangs and found these. They came with standard H3 bulbs but I modified them and I am using a HID kit with H3 4300K bulbs. My goal was just for looks. The 1st pics are with the standard H3 bulbs and the rest are with the HID kit. I used a switch from an early 2000 Model Maxima and put it in between seat heater buttons (no pics of it)

Thanks for the pictures. I too thought that driving lights next to the fangs would look good. Looking at these I no longer want driving lights there.

I got the look I was going for, remember to each his own.
Hey Rebelman, I paid $40 for them and the HID kit was from another car I previously had.

If you wanted driving lights you should have got a G. They look misplaced and clearly don't belong on a Z.

Like the OP said he is happy with them and really that is all that matters. If every one liked the same thing cars would be pretty boreing.

LMFAO... Some of you guys are not very nice.... A couple of days ago I saw an older guy in a Nismo 370 with those thin long pepboys fog lights attached to the black vents at the bottom of the bumper. I gave him a

I don't see why one wouldn't be able to drill a hole in those fang covers and flush mount a set of micro projector fog lights. The only issue is that if the lights are recessed that far in, the bumper will block any of that light from spreading out to the peripherals which is probably why the OP mounted them as far out as he did.

Edit: something like these might be nice if you paint the bezel black?
