yes, just get some SMT LED bulbs and load resistors. I did mine.

Do you know if the Canadian DRL implementation is LED? I doubt it. As far as I know, the 2010 Canadian G37 DRL uses dimmed headlights or maybe the fog lights. Would love to know.

These "hyper LED" parts originated as optional equipment for the Skyline (Japanese model).
The Canadian versions of the G37 sedans 2010 and up use the full low beam headlight system (rear and markers included) as the DRL's which at first I wasn't too sure about but now really like it. I have been thinking about getting the LED DRL's (Sport version) as I think they look pretty sharp without being over the top cheesy. Not sure how they would work on the Canadian version as we already have our low beam headlight system always on. Anybody know or any thoughts on this is much appreciated.

The LED's are bright white at most distances. Up close, from the side, they appear slightly magenta or purple. It's a cool effect.

For the record, my car is Graphite Shadow (despite looking blue in some shots), with premium/nav/wood and illuminated kick plates, tinted to 30%.
Just curious - how happy have you been with the LEDs? I am having the front chin spoiler installed, and thought about doing this at the same time...

The LED lights operate whenever the car is on and the headlights are off.

Here are some related posts that may answer any remaining questions:

Nishalp put together a DIY photo guide for this kit.

Maxfinity had the dealer install this kit on his ride; good night photos.

Nice write up. Felt in need of led DRL in Seattle region as auto headlights does not turn on at dusk / rain. Aware of this option but never realize it is so expensive. This Black Friday a store sold it for 295 shipped, so that I ordered for my 2011 sedan.

Installation takes some effort, together I installed illuminated kick plate and front chin spoiler. This one took more than the other two, yet the most useful one. These old time LEDs are a lot brighter than the led DRL available as a basic premium package on many cars today.

In short, remarkably brighter than the stock h8 yellow fog lights.

These are Nissan/Infiniti Genuine Parts that I ordered through my local Infiniti dealer. The part number for my car, a 2010 G37x sedan automatic transmission (non-sport), was B66M0-1NF01. List price was $724.90, but I paid $540. Note that there are two light module designs, Standard and Sport. For other part numbers and further information, please refer to peschs3's thread. He opted for dealer installation.

The package comes complete with everything that is needed, except some common tools and supplies. All wiring for the kit is accomplished through harnesses, so there is no splicing. There is a 19-page installation booklet (in English), which is quite good. It states that dealer installation is recommended. My dealership estimated a minimum of $500+ in labor, so I opted to do it myself.

The installation took me about eight hours. It certainly could be done in less time, but I was very careful to do everything exactly right. As a comparison, I have previously done the DIY paddle shifter mod, which took me an hour or two. Obviously, the DRL install was much more involved. The most time-consuming step is removing the front bumper and wheel fenders, especially if you haven't done it before. The installation instructions called for removal of the left front wheel, but this wasn't necessary for me. As you can see, it also requires drilling into the front bumper faux-vents. Overall, I would say installation was difficult but well within the capability of a competent enthusiast.

I am very satisfied with the results. The lights shine brightly during daylight, and integration with the car's electronics is seamless. I only hope that the LEDs last for several years. I did this install a month ago and there have been no problems.

I've got a weakness for sleek LED DRLs (particularly Audi's stunning designs), and this mod has rounded-out my G37 in that regard.

Now, I would love some LED turn signals (especially rear). Possible?
