i agree... everyone has their own taste, so if you like it rock it...

but as for myself... i say, if the car didn't come with LED DRL's, then they shouldn't have em and don't put em on lol, but thats just me

audis mercedes and new lexuses all look great with em, but only from factory... i don't think I've seen anyone with aftermarket LED DRLs who pulled it off as good

I agree with gojeezy123, as much as I like LED DRLs, if they aren't from factory, they just dont have that upscale look for some reason. Aftermarket LEDs looks.... well a little childish/racer boy in my opinion, and it definitely don't fit with this classy car. But that's my opinion, if you like it, rock it! Also it may look better in person, who knows.

I too, am not feeling it. It's a bit much for me, personally. But, that's the beauty of customizing cars. If it's what YOU like, go for it!

Yea I agree, I guess it does look like too much. If I were to get rid of all the blue and put it only on the bottom grille, it looked pretty clean. Also Would a white look like a lot more clean look?

Exactly, leave only the bottom grill with the blue and I think it'll look away. White light I think would light up the bottom for no reason, blue is little bit more subtle. You already have the LED drl's so I don't see a need for more white light.

I think just the bottom would be nice. Electrical tape the part Mesca was talking about and take another picture to compare.

Where did you get the LED strips mounted around the headlights and how did you wire them?

The white LED daytime running lights look great in the pics. Are they inside the housing?

The blue lights look ridiculous...sorry. As an ex volunteer fireman, I can tell you that I had to have a permit from the state to have any blue light displayed on the front of my car. You are going to get yourself stopped and it will most likely be at the most Inopportune time like a DUI. Take the blue crap off!
