Yes but if you have factory HID's make sure to allow room for the AFS to operate properly. I had a hell of a time last night trying to move stuff around, but if your patient and aren't scared to use a little force, you can and should be able to get the modules in the outer most corner of the head light housing. Also make sure to trim off the mounting tab that comes on top of the module to allow more room to squeeze it in there. If you don't have factory HID's I don't think you will have a problem no matter where you put it.

Just installed mine and it took about 30 min total including time to take covers and airbox off and reinstall. Like D.Jobin says, there is plenty of room in the housing to squeeze the modules in. Works like a charm. Will post pics as soon as i get time.

Just installed mine today and i agree with everyone it is bright with no flickering. Initially i had trouble on where to put the module because of the tight space and i might not be able to put back the cover and clip. I agree with D.jobin you just have to tuck it on the outer lower part of the headlight casing, i didnt even need to trim the mounting tab.

sorry dont care for that 'bug eyes' led look, when its off you got yellow smt diodes making the bug eyes and when it on you got the bright bug eyes.
this is my led drl without a module and without the bug eyes, bigger is not always better, imo:

The stock DRLs are also noticeable in the day but not as bright as the 68 LED smts with module. Although on the above pics the stock DRL was taken under direct sunlight while the one with upgraded DRL was taken late afternoon without the sun so it appears brighter. Without the module most members here complained of flickering.

I'm thinking of changing my DRL..I was gonna get from AAC but the flickering was stopping me from buying it..but I guess I will buy it now and purchase this module from V-led..

Just did mine today...but did something different! I took the module out of that square plastic and just wrapped it good in electrical tape...it gave me more room to just put the wiring and that piece into the housing area with no problem at all...here's the finished product!
I'm not running v-leds either...

I was just thinking about it today and I was debating to put it back...u just verified my doubts for me so I put it back, shaved off the tabs and took my time finding the right spots! It actually fits...sooooo, for all of you buying this module...it does fit! It is a great cheap mod...here's an updated photo after I fixed it!
