I think the price would be fair if it included the install, but that's another $4-500.

Infiniti's website lists them at $520/set, and then there's dealer installation, which probably involves much more than simply bolting them into the bumper. I'm sure you could get them for less at your dealership, depending on the dealer and your relationship with them, as well as your haggling skills.

Either way, too much money for LED lighting, OEM or otherwise... but that's a personal decision. As for looks, it's a little busy, but not bad.

It's about a 4 hour install. Mine were part of the new car deal.

don't take it the wrong way, but IMO, it looks like an afterthought. seems like Infiniti wanted to jump on the LED DRL trend and thought, hmmm...where can we put some lights. BAM! let's just slap a few next to the fogs. the non sport is even worse in a triangle formation, because they couldn't fit 3 in a row in there.

as mentioned I decided I wanted them after we negotiated the new car cash purchase price. Got them and install for $400.

+1 on this assessment. Afterthought, band-wagon, etc.

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.

might explore this option myself if I can find a mounting location that looks decent:
