Not crazy about the aftermarket LEDs but to each their own. Honestly I like the look of the stock or even like a yellow tinted lens. Maybe a lower heat bulb?? But if you like them that's all that matters

I don't like those, but to each their own. I saw a thread where someone coded the parking lamps with NCS to be on for the DRL lights. Right now I have my HID's on but I hate it kind of.

I put those on in 2009 and it cut the close calls down by 90 percent.
Hella fog lights with the frosted glass aimed slightly below the level
of the headlights. The bulbs are white they just look not so in that pick.

I consider those Driving Lights not DRL, the DRL's are the lights that come on with the left hand stalk turned all the way towards the dash. These are Driving Lights, and are only operated by a switch that is installed into the left hand side of the steering wheel. Mine will be installed tomorrow, but I'm getting chrome housings and have already purchased PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulbs to be installed in them as well.

I like them if they match the headlights. Otherwise they look too aftermarket.
Also, if you don't have extra fogs like you do, then there is no point as I need my yellow fogs for the rain in Vancouver winters.

I do like the look, but not the PRICE!

I'm getting them for asthetic reasons, but also because I do drive to fellow club members home's who live out in the "boonies" in Beavercreek and Silverton, have already come way to close to hitting deer in that area.
