Hello All. I am thinking of buying a 2017 Altima SV.

Can someone give a good recommendation for a retrofit daytime running light kit for this car?

Thanks for your help!

Here are a few pics. I also had fog lights installed.

Only ones I could find anywhere that fit a 2016 and up. They turn yellow when turn signals, flasher, and lock are activated.
My custom shop can put some in the headlights. That is expensive though.
Edit: Also my shop changed the front turn to a bright white/yellow LED bulb that I provided. Instead of the stock yellow/yellow. You can see the white light in one of the pics

I'd love to these taillights too

I'll probably get some underbody and interior lighting next. And a sub.
I was going to get the NEW 2018 Kenwood 9905S last week. My dealer had it. I put a deposit. But... the iDatalink Maestro RR is not compatible with 2016+ Altimas yet. Heartbreak!

My 2016 SV has running lights in the driving lights in the fascia. Check yours.
Are you wanting the headlights low beams to come on also?
If so, a simple relay from the driving light circuit to the headlight low beams would suffice.
You will need en electrical probe tester and basic electrical skills.
I can see my running lights on the rear of cars at stoplights, so no need for brighter in my opinion.

I've seen posts stating that the DLR hardware is installed but not all Altimas have them activated. This makes sense economically and other auto manufacturers do the same thing. I have various rumors like that only the 3.5 engine option has them, but not all do. I believe either a jumper cable or software patch probably activates them given the right options packages selected, so those of us with base models go without. There has to be a simple way to activate them, and I would simply ask a dealer service tech what the deal is. I have a very base S model -- there isn't even an "S" emblem. My DLRs are out too, so if anyone finds the solution let us all know.

I have a very late model-year 2016 built here in GA and it looks identical to every 2017 I see. I bought it around Thanksgiving 2016. Yes, it's my understanding that the the the big NIKE Swoosh looking thing between the headlight cluster and the grill is the DLR. You say there are no lights in there, it's just a space filler?
