They look OK to me.
I installed something similar to what you have, and I didn't really like them powered on all the time. I'm going to put a switch on the lights to control them.
 
Can't install that on vehicles with adaptive cruise control. looks cool though
 
If you look at the 2017 Limited model, they come with those stock in place of the normal round fog lights. Was thinking of retrofitting them but haven't looked into what all needs to be purchased or if it'd even work. The basic shape of the lower cladding looks the same so I'm hoping it'll work.
 
are those just normal LED lights, not those LED bars that light up the world?

I wanna get 2 6" light bars and mount them in that spot, one of each side. I wanna get the yellow ones so they are useful in the fog and wire them to a switch.

Normal leds. It has a third cable to dim lights when head lights are on. Probably will connect it.

Agree. It has a third cable to dim led brightness when head lights are on. Probably will connect it.

My DTRL module went out I think, couldn't find anything wrong with fuses and relays so I gave up.
Got 3000k 7440 bulbs from PUTCO to match my fog lights (which I doubt are 3000k but more orange than yellow), got 7440 fittings, got a fuse holder, wired them to the ignition wire and put them in the old DTRL spots. Now they are always on when I start the vehicle and they don't dim when headlights are on.
 
The DTRL module I used connects directly to battery with fuse holder. It has a vibration sensor that sense that car is on powering LEDs running lights. Kind of weird initially but does the work. I placed the vibration sensor between the manifold and its cover because on the car body there was not enough vibration to work.

The 2017 uses the nissan juke LED's from the nismo edition, the lights cost $900+ MSRP from nissan. The lower bumper is about $200. There are more parts on the Limited but with the lights and bumper i'm sure it can be retrofitted to work with out the extra.

I'm really curious about the LED running lights used in the 2017 Limited model. I also think they look great.
Does anyone have any experience with the electrical requirements to change to LEDs? I'm assuming its no plug and play.
I'm looking to change my 2010 FX50 to a 2017 Bumper/Grille/LED Running lights (fog lights)
