Hi everyone!

After reading much about DRL installation, I've done it to my 2011 SL, too.

In a nutshell, I've tapped into the 57 wire, ran wires inside the cabin via the grommet behind the glove box, and incorporated a switch to turn on and off the LED fog lights. I've wired it so that the switch's blue light illuminates when the LEDs are on, and when I push the button to turn it off, the blue light also turns off.

On/Off switch inside the cabin:

I'd be happy to answer any questions. :0) Thanks everyone!
 
Great job! Looks really slick! I want to do exactly the same thing (although I might not have my switched, as I typically sell my LEAFs to Canadians and their DRLs are not allowed to be turned off by law!

Can you please link to the LED fogs that you're using for the DRLs?

How did you mount them--did you have factory fogs to begin with?

Those H11 LEDs you linked would be to replacethe headlight bulbs, correct?

They fit in your factory fog cases with the lens??

Many of us don't have fogs, so I'm try to source a totally new assembly...
 
The H11 LEDs replace the stock FOGLIGHT lamps. A direct swap.

There's info somewhere on here about which housing the Leaf uses and it's available on Amazon somewhere. I wish I could find the link! xD
