The search function seems to be down again, so I'm hoping one of you can answer my question... I may be importing my Z into Canada soon (from U.S.) and they require DRL's. Does anyone know what the procedure is to add DRL's to U.S. spec Z's? I'm hoping/assuming I won't need new headlight assemblies. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I have HID's.

I called a Nissan dealer in Canada as I wanted to have DRLs here. They researched putting same in a US car and told me that it is very labor intensive and would cost me 6-7 hundred dollars. I thought it wud just be like adding a relay but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have been told by others to look into an aftermarket that doesn't require going in to wiring harness but haven't as of yet. Good luck

why are you importing it from US but not from Canada itself? just wondering...

I bought the car last year in the US (which is where I currently live), but I'm moving back to Canada soon. Without DRL's they won't let me register the car in Canada.

There is a module from Hamsar (http://www.hamsar.com/drl.htm) that will work I'm pretty sure for about 35 bucks. It may take a phone call to them to see if they have a kit specifically for the Z. For the G coupe, I faxed in the wiring drawings and their engineer came up with a solution. I haven't gone that direction though partly because after poring through my Infiniti's manual, I found the OE DRL module runs the high beams lamps in series. It's easy enough with a few relays to do this myself. Crashing and totalling my 1st G three months ago put a damper on progress. Have the replacement car now but haven't gotten a fire under me to get this project done yet.
