I just wanted to share the new install:

Install was easy. Took me an hour because I needed to figure out how to get the fuse box out, run the wire, trial-and-error a couple of fuses to tap into.... But if I had to do it again, it would take 10 minutes.
:D

That looks really nice. Where did you get this from? Have been searching for one myself

Through a local guy in Walnut, CA. But I believe he has them on eBay:
eBay - LED Front Emblem Q50

He also has a BLACK emblem w/ WHITE or RED or BLUE led light! I liked the Chrome with White LED because it went better with my car...

the harness is prewired, its under the passenger headlight LOL

looks great tho

edit: on a Q60
Thanks! And yes, it's just a Q60 feature. That's where I first saw it, and loved it.

So weird, some people are able to see the pics I post and some cannot... Maybe it has something to do with Google Photos? That's what I use... Here it is as an attachment.

Nice install!

When I bought my RS last year, the dealer had it installed by their custom shops. IMHO it looked "ok". Could have been done neater and having the light bleed out up/down/sides took away from the classy look of that of say the Mercedes light up emblem. That one they got right since the light is contained and the logo is clearly visible.

One negative thing from my light up emblem was that when on, since light bled up, it pretty much washed out the front camera -something I use rather often when having to parallel park. I'm hoping the new factory one for the Q50 has a lip or is designed containing the light to show a nice glowing emblem, again like the Mercedes.

Gotta say though, the light from the OPs emblem looks nicer than mine and looks like it is much neater.

This will be an option in the new 2018 Q50 model along with a full satin black grille (no chrome)

Indeed it will have option for a factory front light emblem that has the light contained and focused. Only thing that is hard to tell is if the black edging of the emblem is part of the mesh grill or if the emblem is one piece that goes on top of the mesh. Man, I really hope it's the latter and emblem will fit in previous year models, cuz boy does it look nice and clean.
Time to look for part numbers and further investigate! :D

Here is where I got the image, it's a comparison of a '16 vs '18 RS400:

Different topic, but worth noting that there is now an option in display menu for digital speedo on the '18 -I remember someone had asked if possible. Would be nice to have an update that would give previous year models the same option.

The factory ones are all but useless since they come with the grille correct? I say useless because of the sonar mounts on the new grille.

This should work no problem on any Q50 model regardless of front camera or not. The part number for the grille emblem and emblem base is the same from 2014-2018. Means anything associated with the emblem shouldn?t affect other trim options.

is the stand alone radiant emblem even out yet ? I js searched infiniti parts website and found nothing . any ideas as to when it's gonna be dropping ?

EDIT : pm'd

You would need to buy the car with the radiant grille option, this gets you the illuminated logo.

You then would need to install the black sport grille separately and drill holes for the wiring that goes to the emblem.

Ask Shaun in his Q50 thread about the modification, he did his own install and swap.

I personally opted to keep chrome instead of deleting it all. I think it looks nice with the 2018 and isn’t overly chromed out like the outgoing MY.

I have some pics, this is the black grille with the radiant emblem. Also a back shot of the chrome trunk finisher wrapped in gloss black with the letters cut out. The window pillars and chrome on the handles are wrapped too.

Here’s a picture from before I got the car washed, sorry it’s dirty but you get a closer look at the trim.

Some shops also told me they can’t do it, so I just asked around until I found a few that have experience with precise wraps like this and they did it without any issues.
