Was going to post the very same thing! It's really annoying that they shut off when the main headlights are on, wish they would stay on as fog lights...

the whole idea about "daytime running lights" is that they remain on during the "daytime" for safety
at night you have your headlights on for safety
if you want to rice it up with vegas leds all over the front bumper, just splice the power wire into something that has constant power all the time, im sure there's plenty of wires in the ecu loom that have constant power when the ignition is on. You'll work it out in 5 mins with a voltmeter
every ricer with an ebay account here in Aus is putting these led horizontal strips all over their front bumpers. At least the BMW angel eye ricer trend of yester'year actually looks creative in some applications

Rice it up? These are stock LEDs and they look great. Benzes, audis and others have daytime LEDs that can stay on at night to..

I'm only stirring you mate
Each to their own, it's your car. Have a re-read of my advice on diy or just wait till adrey releases what will prob be a plug n play kit. While your behind the bumper good idea to swap out the Oem xenon bulbs for the osram extreme 5000k. Very noticeable increase in light output despite being rated at 5000k
If it helps, Renault, who own Nissan, do the auto off led thing too

It looks good with the headlights on.
After seeing the video that was on this thread: http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=48870 that features the headlights and the LED's on at the same time, I'm a believer of this "mod":

Looks great with them on, the stupidity involved in deciding to have them off at night is staggering.
