^ Happy this finally coming to fruition for you sedan guys. Especially with the fortitude you've exhibited from the start of the announcement by TRS about the XB leds for the G. Seems to reason though that if the market already has a direct fit sedan option out there, that TRS really shd step up or be side-stepped.

I got the last set they had, and they got theirs straight from the manufacturer in Asia meanwhile TRS has been throwing people off with this for quite a while as well as the place where I got them from for like a year I was told so they decided to contact the manufacturer directly and so they did.

I still don't know what TRS is up to and what are they doing in regards to this or when they'll decide on getting it done... now seems like it's a little too late for them.
Assuming it works for you, I would like a pair. Hmm, confused.

I paid $39 shipped from OrderInfinitiParts. Then I paid $75 for a body shop to prep, paint and clear coat them in gloss black with a fine metallic flake. And then I put them on the car and decided I liked the chrome rings better.



So now I have two sets of rings, and I'll likely switch between them from one year to the next, just because.

Hows the output? Does the Retrofit Soure have output picks or cutoff?

I do not know if they do or do not, but I'll definitely get some once these are installed

Okay guys and gals, You are all in luck sooner than at least I anticipated that TRS would pull through with this ! Just a day after I posted detailed pictures of the fogs with the direct fit bracket I got my hands on, they just announced this.

Infiniti Owners: Whose in for a group buy?
We will be releasing a Morimoto XB LED Fog Light just for you within the next 3-4 weeks! Check out the following fitment list, if you're on there, then you're in luck!
2008-2013 Infiniti EX35/EX37/QX50
2006-2014 Infiniti FX35/FX37/FX45/FX50/QX70
2010-2014 Infiniti G25/G37/Q60 Sedan & Coupe
2011-2014 Infiniti M37/M56/Q70
2009-2014 Nissan Cube
2011-2014 Nissan Juke
2009-2014 Nissan Murano
2011-2014 Nissan Quest
2011-2014 Nissan Rogue
2007-2012 Nissan Versa


Then I asked if the brackets will be the same as the one I posted pictures of which I posted here as well, and yes they'll be the same exact thing and harware will be included

Not bad at all, I might have to order some as well, the difference is, I wouldn't get them painted but vinyl wrapped gloss black just like I got my grille vinyl wrapped because rock chips... if I got them painted then I'd have to get them repainted every few months because of all the rockchips..

Do you have a part number for the fog rings John?

Where is the group buy, Mike? Here on the forum somewhere?

And is there a difference between Sport Sedan and non-Sport when it comes to the fog assemblies? I suspect not, but asking anyway.

I don't. And truth be told, I didn't set out to buy fog rings. I thought I was buying the cross-hatched piece that the fogs fit into, because I had this idea maybe I wanted that painted gloss black to match my grille. But the OrderInfinitiParts website had the part numbers crossed, and the rings showed up instead. So I figured I'd play with them anyway.

There is no group buy yet, it was only posted by the owner of TRS to a facebook group called "headlight junkies". If there is any update about the group buy I will post here, and I'll ask them to perhaps post themselves on here as well.

I really doubt there is a difference between sport Sedan and non-sport when it comes to the fog assemblies, there is a difference however between sedan and coupe... These will definitely fit your sport bumper with that same bracket as I posted pictures of.

ahhh I see, well I'll have to do some research these coming days

I'm interested as well! It'd be great to have them post directly to this forum for those of us who stay far away from social media vehicles.

Theretrofit Source XB Led projector style foglights

Here I am posting for them as I've been working with them to spread the word on the GREAT GROUP BUY DEAL !

Don't miss out on this great group buy price!

The Retrofit Source & Morimoto have finally released the XB LED Projector fog lights for modern Infiniti applications!Â*
https://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...iti-51258.html

Their retail price is $170 + shipping, but in order to help spread the word about their launch, they are offering us a group buy price of just $100/pair shipped! (within the US, international shipping is extra)

Once 25 people place their order, all of the orders will begin shipping from their warehouse in Atlanta, GA.Â* The coupon code "InfinitiXBGB" will work on the TRS website and take $70 off the order. You can add anything else to the order like new D2S bulbs, LED parts, or clear projector lenses, and it will all ship free.

These fog lights use the same Kuria optic that made the rest of the XB LED fog light line so famous. Producing a very wide, uniformly distributed beam of perfect white (5500K) light, they will easily out perform and look better than the stock halogen fog lights. They are powered by 3 Philips Luxeon-T LED's that are cooled by the integrated heat sink on the back of the housing and include a full 10-year warranty against any moisture intrusion or LED failure.

Yellow-tinted lamin-X film may be added to give them a 3000K yellow output, which further helps performance in the fog/snow/rain since yellow light can penetrate through particles in the air more effectively than white light can.

If you're interested, please chime in so we can gather interest to get the group buy going!

I'm in for this, Mike... and fantastic intro price. That's awesome.

But what about the bracket? I thought that was the whole point here, to get a bracket for PnP fitment.
