Similiar to these - which are from the G37 Sedan - but I rotated the pic to where it looks like it fits in the fang.

Easier than a full custom light job, and much cheaper.

Aren't the plastic pieces outboard of the fangs removable?

Couldn't you just take 'em off and mount something like ParkStr8's pics in them? Seems to me the hardest part would be finding a classy place for the switch.

I now have a 13 and would like to change the DRLs to some kind of serious led driving lights. Aside from finding lights, there remains the switch placement problem. Inside the console?

why would you need a switch for DRLs? Even for fogs, I would want to have them always ON. A switch is not a requirement to me at least

Never noticed this thread till now but I created my own next to the fangs. I put them at the same angle of the fangs to make them flow with the car better.

Here are my Hella Micro DE 4300k HID Fogs. They are connected to the parking lights and really light up the foreground nicely and match the OEM headlights:

+2 I was thinking this was the best light setup I have seen and was checking the bank account to give it a go. My dissappointment on finding out it was faked was almost as much as when, as a teenager, I found out Lauren Holly was actually fake and not a genuine redhead. Gutted.

Not sure if the link will work, but the members name is Majestik. You might have to create a membership on their site to be able to search. Just search for all his posts.

Also hit up Simota on here, he did DRL's on his amuse as well.
