ok...finally arrived and installed them a moment ago (by God it took a while, more time was spent on this then when i was installing the illuminated kickplates, the glove box was a major pain but not impossible to do.) A few things to note though, 1st, the lights do make it more luxurious/classy but could be a bit more brighter. 2nd, the price would turn down most ppl who are considering getting this kit. 3rd it was overall a fun and stressful project at the same time. if you're getting bored of your G37 get this kit.

I installed this myself on my car last year - by far the most time intensive mod I've installed. I think it does make the car look nicer and more luxurious. My only wish is that it would just be on all the time instead of only turning on when you turn headlights on.
In terms of brightness, I initially thought they were too dim but I think over time I've come to realize they are just right for driving late night in dark areas. After a few drives on highway around midnight - 4 AM time they appear to be quite bright as is. Anymore brightness would honestly be distracting while driving.
Is it worth installing/money? Not so sure. Like Rickyay said above, if your bored with G then its a nice mod to do.

I'm surprised to see so many Infiniti's OEM parts that require drilling, cutting and perhaps tapping, such as those LED DRLs and splash guards. They're like afterthoughts. Perhaps I'm wrong but that's what it seems like to me. Aftermarket parts sometimes are more compatible and easier to install than this.

The interior accent package seems ideal for "throw in the interior accent lighting and we got a deal" lol

I have stated this before but really all it does is let you see how dirty your shoes are. As far as legs you can only see the calves, not the thighs which are where my eyes roam! After all was said and done I am glad I did it but it wasn't worth the money. There would be a lot cheaper ways to do it other than the OEM kit.

I got them on our Subbi Legacy - adds a nice "richer" feeling and like the Mustang, it lights up the center console and cup holders, but not with switchable colors.

Another thought: I added the Puddle Lights - now that is much cooler at least on the Subbie. Shines a nice mellow blue lights (4) from the lower rocker trim panels.. The combo of both really enhanced the car and not for anywhere near the $$$ for the Infiniti. BTW, the 2010 Legacy is very nice car for the $$$...

if you don't know why you want it, you probably shouldn't spend the money...

my two cents...

can probably spend your money better somewhere else.

my friend DIY'ed it for me in like 15mins. Hooked it up to parking lights..

aftermarket lights, retail cost like $30. prolly could have gotten it for $15 online though

the brightness is perfect for me at night IMO.. and yeah I picked blue
