If you want 'em that's the place to have them, in the main lighting unit.
Well found.

Not Xenons I'm afraid. If they were then they would be illegal. If you look closely at the pic you can see that the beams have angel eyes around them too, so you get the best of DRL's and the BMW angel eye thing :cool: When they are fitted I will use some of the Phillips bright blue bulbs to give them bit of an extra oomph :smiley:

I'll see what I can do for you. I haven't checked out the wiring yet as I suspect some jiggery pokery will be needed to get the DRL's working as DRL's :undecided:

Won't they be controlled by the side light circuit?

The third light on the right is that for the indicator?

They look great  :cool:

....Those look awesome, Hurdy - I'm jealous (or should that be envious - I get them mixed up). But I have Xenons and am very happy about them for night driving. :smiley:
