So I got the lights in today. Not sure where I am going to put them, since they are thicker then I expected. They also dont have that box on them like in the videos?? But it does have 3 wires to connect.
There are no instructions.
Anyway, when i figure out where they are going, I will get them on and take pictures.
Here are a couple of pics fresh out the package.

Curious how ya pull it off, but I'll disclose my skepticism. Seems like the LED DRL craze hit its peak a few years ago, after Audi started using them a lot.
Feel like retro-fitment of universal type LED strips takes A LOT of creativity to implement well. If they're not integrated into an OEM part like headlight housing for bumper fixture (like later GTRs), they usually look like an afterthought (i.e. not good). But it does seem like the products are getting better.

I agree and they are indeed an afterthought, so it's fitting; however I like the idea of doing it and the fact that one can be creative, somewhat , rather than accept what oem gives you ....though the product may not live up to it, it's an inexpensive mod that may work out well....will see , mine is on the way so....will see... pun intended

Ok. So the only place I can think to put them is in front of the lower grill. Im not pulling the headlights apart to put these in.
Or maybe Ill put them on my lawn mower. Lol. Lmao.
Ill tape them in front of the grill to see if i like them there. Maybe take a picture of them too..
Im just wonder if they are going to flash like in the video, without having the control box??

did these on my altima se-r headlights they are morimoto switchback strips, enjoy doing it all the finished product is always worth it, no one else on the road had my headlights even retrofitted some projectors in their, loved every minute of it.
Enjoy man it can been a battle but worth it like I said, trying to find my finished product being I sold my se-r.

Well ....the lawn mower sounds tempting ...or my 8 speed..but yeah, not prying open headlight for this mod, maybe if I was doing the lens swap...but nah....so the grill may be the best option ...damn....
Those headlights look nice btw...but not something I'd contemplate doing....

Well. I need new headlights, do to the clear coat coming off and leaving them foggy. Im going to try to clean them after they get worse.
I wish we could get the aftermarket headlights like the coupe.. smh
I did hook them to my lawn mower battery, they are a little brighter then i thought. The amber is sequential, so thats cool. .
I desided to put them under the bumper for now. Lol.
I did not hook up the wires yet. So next sunday, I will do the wiring.

what were you thinking on the lights? like an LED or just lens swap...ive contemplated the lens with the sti's i think its the name, but opening housing just seems like a potential issue...here in FL central and rainy summers, leaks can become a nightmare etc but keep us posted on lights as those pics you posted look really nice

i saw those and thought price was not an option, maybe if my lights go, then feasible; but have you thought about just swapping out the lens? i think there is a common one called sti or something like that and its been done a few times with members posting here on forum....so food for thought....
