I personally like these as they are more current trend with C7 vettes, the new viper, lambo, the GTR even has the strip like this running through the middle of the lights.

These are the lights.

I am honestly not a fan of excessive headlight bling. Rings around the lights are ok and even some LEDs but not a fan of this at all.

I would drop the halos and just run he strip. I don't like it over done.

I was looking into something like that, but from what I could find, I didn't like the dimensions, just seemed to thick, also there isn't much playroom for the bottom when it would start cutting off your beam. I'm working with a string of LED's, but more of an accent than an DRL. I did a quick run with it this morning with a few more lights... Here is where I'm at - the light was a junk one I bought so no worries if I don't like how it turns out.

Thanks!!!! I don't have a good lens for the passenger side as the one I have is yellowed and major scratches, not sure how it will look under it, hoping it doesn't reflect all over, also want to try and sand the LED's with 600 so it will give the light a frosted look over the clear... The LED's are a short version so just barely poke thru the housing - gives it a cleaner looking in my opinion.

The guy is waiting for them to arrive he is in Australia when he posts pics I'll post them here. This was posted on the 370z Facebook group page I'm in.

I'd like to see them installed along with a pic when they are off. Then I can decide if I really like them.

the strip is pretty okay because people can see it at night, but the HID bulk make halo ring difficulty to see clear at night(unless you turn your light off at daylight),

these thing would cost 1000+
