Just want to share. The small shelf people talk about is really not noticeable at all.

Having had a play with the EVO-R DRL I started making some lenses.

I sanded them down and primed them to get rid of the manufacturing injection mould marks but ultimately decided they weren't quite for me.

I have treated myself to a pair of these - and a much lighter wallet.

Just waiting for the rear to come back from paint next week and i'll install the rear and put the DRL in. That will take some wiring via relay to get them working using the auto lights feature. Plan is to have them on with the ignition and off when the main lights come on automatically.

I also have these ready to go on.

Are those oem nismo DRL's?

Photo's 3 & 4 are, yes.

Ugh....the nismo DRLs look so much better than anything else on the market but don't know if I can justify paying so damn much for a set

Fitted the DRL this weekend. pretty straightforward to be honest longest part was running the wiring which was pretty simple.

There is no harness to fit and DRL on the 2012 370 so had to wire them in manually.

I worked out a circuit using a normally closed relay. Power from a 12v source when then ignition is ON will activate the DRL, they will remain on until either the sidelights or main beam are turned on. This also works in the auto position.

Testing the circuit.

All was good so onto the physical part....

Removed the bumper.

These are the location points for the Nismo DRL. 2 x push clips and 1 x spring clip.

The yellow circled portion is from one of the plastic inserts for the Nismo bumper that acts as a guide.

DRL Fitted

I didnt take any pictures of the actual wiring install (boring) but the 12v feed for the ignition on was taken from the fise box in the engine bay and the pin circled in red.

12v to trigger the relax and switch off the DRL when the main beam or side lights come on was taken from the side lights. There are two wires black/yellow and green. The green wire is the 12v.

The final result showing the DRL on and off with the side lights and/or main beam on.

Thanks for posting too tall. I will have a drl someday but I would rather spend that kind of money on something else like on cooling.

Don't you guys find that extra plumbing quite useless?

OptionZero · 04-17-2016, 06:39 PM

I can't wait for someone to make some brake ducts like the ones available for the older Nismo front

and for someone to try the Varis intake ducts as well

EDIT: Some german racing team did it

patabq · 04-18-2016, 08:03 AM

If I do the conversion, I have not found a good way to attach my brake ducts to the DRL holes or front area like on the standard nose. I saw this pic a couple months ago and decided I would use that 4" inlet necked down to my 3" ducts.
