Default LED DRLs

Changed stock DRLs to LED strip ones.
Not too bright...

No, just partial disassembly of the front bumper. No baking required

"Side glow" LED strips are glued to bottom edge of a headlight.

interesting... do you have any up-close pics? Are they just glued to the front of the housing or is there a lip that goes down you glued it behind?

Hey Vad those look gorgeous!
Can you hook me up with reprogramming my fogs to turn on independently if I meet up with you?

Well, the shape of our headlight makes the light strip relatively unique
