I'm definitely going to be installing my LED DRL's so they are separately and independently switched on/off, and I might even fit a rheostat so that their brightness can be varied.

I think that the LED strip plus Angel rings still look very good together and, importantly, nothing in the DRL safety effectiveness will be lost. :cool:

Managed to get rid of the "egg yolk" effect on the headlights.

BEFORE



AFTER



The bulbs side by side



The view from a distance



It does finish it off nicely IMO. :smiley:

They look awesome, can't wait for mine to get here now. Better get my arse out and get some indicator and sidelight bulbs though.

I've left my sidelights the same at the moment as I haven't got time to take off the front end and change them (can't get to them in situe :sad:). I need a spare day to do it :laugh:
