Update - Labelling Discrepancy
Just called TRS...
No issue with the divergent box labelling mentioned in my post above. TRS indicated that a few boxes might have MOPAR checked on them, no big deal as the sticker for Infiniti is correct. All packages were double-checked and verified before going out.
Let the install begin!!!

Mine just arrived. Suppose I should open it up and take a look. 
...just did, and apparently mine is checked for MOPAR, too. Hahahaha!
anyway, they look exactly like those posted above by PG-v36_6MT, with the custom bracket already attached to each, and two wire harness connectors in a little bag. I have to say, on first impression these seem like very solid, quality built items. The lens itself is beautiful, gently rounded at the edges for a totally seamless look. That was always something difficult to figure out in photos, but there is no plastic edge... the lens just curves downward.
Man, I am so tempted to work on this right now. Hmmm.
At the moment, I'm holding my extra fog rings up to the lens, (just because I happen to have a pair) and wondering about fitment. Really what I need to do is remove one of the fogs from my car.

Got mine today and I have a great excuse to hide in the garage for a couple of hours tonight if it takes that long.
My son has a few friends staying the night for his birthday.

I could not stand it seeing the fog lights sit lonely on my table, so I went ahead and did the install. Here are some tips, which I hope will help some of you get these installed quicker:
Tools you need: 10mm socket, 8mm wrench, long-nose plier, and a light source.
Jack the car up. Then remove the corner of the plastic undercover
I'm small so I was able to get to the fog lamp through this small opening
Next, you wanna use the 8mm wrench and unscrew the only bolt on the stock fog lamp. Also, there is a red plastic tab as you can see in the picture. There are 3-4 more tabs around the fog lamp. You want to ply these tabs and pull the chrome shroud out. It was kinda PITA to remove these chrome shrouds.
Once you remove the fog lamp and the chrome shroud, just put the new fog lamp in in reverse order. But before you do that, you want to screw the bolt to the new fog lamp to widen the thread (screw hole? I don't know what to call it). That way it would be easier when you reassemble the fog light
Before you connect the leads to the connector, make sure the red wire of the fog light go to the blue (purple) of the car connector. You can also test if the lights work by sticking the leads into the car connector just like in the picture below and then turn on the headlight switch:
And here is how you connect the leads to the connectors. Make sure the leads face each other "inwardly" the same way in the picture. Otherwise they would not go all the way in:
Close-up:
Now the long-nose plier comes into play. You use it to pull the leads from the inside of the connector
This picture is for reference only. It is not the connector of the fog lamp!
NOTE: once you slide the pins in all the way, they stay locked, so make sure you connect the pins (leads) the right way so that when you plug the connector in, the red wire connects to the blue (purple) wire, and black to black. Hope it makes sense!
After that, reassemble everything and you're good to go.
Here are some pictures of the light output:
It is beautiful. Crystal clear as you can see. IMHO, they are worth every penny. I don't have any picture of the light at night because I did the install around noon.
UPDATE:
Here are two pictures that I just took to show how bright these fog lights are. I tried to take these pictures at the same angle with the same focus to control confounding factors or bias
With headlights on
With headlights covered aka foglights only
Pretty bright right! I am very satisfied!

Very nice write up sir! Thanks for that, I'm sure it'll be useful and helpful to anybody who will be installing them in the next few days! I see you were actually able to take a few up-close shots of the light output, certainly crystal clear, and the optics(projector) looks awesome indeed. I'll share this thread with guys on FB groups incase anyone needs tips.

Very nice write up. Well done.
However, I still don't understand how to assemble the harness. I'm slow.

Once you slide them into the connecter, you want to use a plier to pull them all the way out from the other side of the connect like this:
Also, like I said in my previous post, once you slide the pins in all the way, they stay locked, so make sure you connect the pins (leads) the right way so that when you plug the connector in, the red wire connects to the blue (purple) wire, and black to black. Hope it makes sense!
