Led Daytime running light question

If I bought these two I could get an almost stock appearance for cheap. What else would I need to buy to install these?

The main thing you will need a DRL relay to hook them in to your electrical system. One should be easy enough to find on ebay though, like most ebay electronics, quality can be somewhat iffy.

Other than that you just need a way to mount them to your car and that will vary depending on the specific design of the LEDs and where you want to mount them.

Hope that helps.

Man, don't kill your car with that crap. No offense, but it'll rice the hell out of it. If you can, save up for Infiniti OEM ones and have the dealer install. Much brighter, more reliable, and best of all not trashy looking.

It is. Grabbed them from here, had the dealer install. Can be a bit tricky as it runs off different amps from what I was told.

There are two OEM DRL kits, the straight one that DJE44 has for cars with the sport bumper and the triangular one that is for cars with the regular bumper.

Yes. The triangular DRLs are for the non-sport bumper.

Be wary of iJDMtoy. I've had problems with them in the past, as have many.

Honestly save for the best. Get OEM.
