Question about DRLs

atk0506 · 01-03-2012, 09:53 PM

I'm currently looking into installing LED DRLs.

Can anyone give me links to some nice ones?

Thanks a lot!
Happy New Year!

all the ones ive seen look like they were bought from ebay or pepboys or some crap.

Personally I don't think they flow with our cars because of the rapid sloping of the headlights... they work in the Audi's because they are more horizontal.

yah, plus those LED stripes imho are as ugly as altezza tails back in the early 90's...

(not talking about the landing strips).

The only ones that I feel are viable (without some sort of aftermarket bumper and bodywork) are the NISSAN DRLs. Problem is, you have to find a good way to mount them. I think I remember seeing a thread where someone did it, but you may find it with a forum search.....

Don't bother with the LED strips, they look like christmas lights and downright tacky.

Like I said, a lot tend to look like Christmas lights. I'd personally just skip drl's altogether and spend the money on something else.
