Default IS LED Strip DRL

Finally got down to it, disabled the orange DRL and installed LED strips and my DRL. Not bad at all.

Yo! That shiet is 100% pure rice dawg! Not JDM bruh, not JDM at all yo...!

On a serious note, that looks really clean, great alternative to the OEM halogen looking DRLs. Make those things strobe and they'd look like cop lights lol Great job! Not bad indeed

Thanks, I am just happy the yellow DRL's are off. Looks great at night though.

I like the idea. I would have personally put it near the fog lights.

Were the DRLs disabled by a Techstream that you own or some other method?

Not a fan personally.. there is an IS in town that i've seen that has this done as well

Shoulda just swapped the regular DRL's for led bulbs/ hid's and skip out on the high beam feature

Disabling DRLs through techstream is probably what he did.
Unless he just has no bulbs in those hbeams

Not a bad mod. Blackhouse your headlights, itll look clean.
