I think it would make a fine trunk light.

Not that they don't look nice. It's just that they could look better if they were an intentional and integrated design, instead of some bolt-on.
these are as close to integrated as you can get, infiniti OEM, exact wiring harness, they definitely look better than that chinese crap on ebay that everyone is selling. Now THAT looks bolt-on ERR STICK-ON LOL.

Mine was the first set they had put on, and they had the parts guys and sales guys come look at it after the install, so they would be better informed on selling them and all that jazz. I was all like 'cool'.

Daytime they are insanely bright.

Nah, that looks awkward to me. But it's your car, and you're happy. That what matters.

Yes, they are integrated with OEM parts. I was referring more to the design. Obviously it is not integrated in the original design of the lights or the car. They tried to come up with something after the fact, so it appears they found the only spot for them and put the lights there. They don't look bad. But could be better. I'm sure they will come up with something that is meant to be part of the car/lights on the next redesign.

This is integrated and intended.

Now if the DRL were a halo around the fog housing... that would be something unique and integrated.

Ape those look nice, but no way are they worth even a third of the $$$ to me.

Also no offense, but if I saw you coming down the road with those (with no knowledge of infiniti) I would honestly just think you purchased those from eBay. I would think you did a good job installing them, but they really don't look OEM. I think that is what everybody is trying to say.

It's not that they look bad, as I said I think they look good, but it looks like a bolt on part. I'd even take it a step further, I would like these on my car if they weren't so much money.

I'm sure they will integrate them, I'm just happy I don't have the ebay crap and they are automatic.

Just my .02 cents.. Audi is the original trendsetter. Then came other models copying them. Audi still has the nicest looking LED DRLs and I miss my A4 because of that. Now you're seeing kids putting aftermarket LEDs on their Integra, TL, etc.. What a joke.

^^^ this.

Same with BMW and halo lights. Some members have done it and they don't look bad, but it just reminds you of a Bimmer. Now, Ironman LEDs look awesome in our Gs!

Have you seen GM throwing LED strips on their bumpers now? Ridiculous... But that's my POV.
