I like that. Can you share what you did, how you hooked it up etc?

That's nice. Can you share what you used and install.

Me too. Turned out perfect.

Thanks!

Mounting LED projector pods was handled by installing flanged aluminum threaded nutserts to bottom of large horizontal OEM brace located behind the grille mesh. Then routed wiring to a waterproof relay (fused of course) hidden under hood and controlled by temporary switch under steering column. I say 'temporary' because I'm currently trying to find an OEM switch to control driving lights that will install in center console where there two factory switch blanks where seat heater switched normally go on Performance model because NISMO has Recoro seats instead that don't have heaters.

PS: Here's the particular LED pods for anyone interested. They are available in both white and yellow, as well as spot and flood versions for white. I have the yellow ones too, but running white/spot for now. Can always easily swap them later if wanted as I installed waterproof Deutsch connectors for simple plug n' play.

These look really good thanks for posting this. I have a 24 Performance and have seen an AI generated graphic of the Performance having the "slots" on each side actually outfitted with lights that look very cool indeed but it was a generated graphic. Forget which site I saw them on but it does make me wonder if the lights could be actually created somehow. I'll see if I can locate that again.

That might have been me. I posted something on the other Z site here (Hope it's not taboo to cross link). Making something like this become a reality would require a skill level I don't have, but if you want it bad enough, I bet there are shops that could do it.

Yes that was the link thanks for refreshing me on that. I started looking a bit after posting yesterday and have found quite a bit of photo's on the web for the 350 and 370 Z's that look promising so I am betting that someone will indeed make a performance version sooner or later that will be easier to install.
