Default VLeds DRL's 6k installed...Part II

Just installed my VLEDs DRL/Parking lights. I miss my JDM Nokya's but thought it was time for a change. Let me know how she looks.

Thanks to Brociouz for the recommendation, Jmags for being a guinea pig and VLEDs for their great service.

Thx J. I had a tough time with the cover. It was a real PITA trying to find a nice cozy spot for that module.

I hope all the wiring that's jammed in there doesn't cause any problems down the road.

i've never understood why so many people take pics of their DRL at night? the idea is not to have the ugly yellow in the daylight~

It gets dark here pretty early..I thought the car wash lighting was fairly bright and besides, shooting at night allows members to see the actual output of these LED's.

VLEDs also advertises these lights on a 2IS lurking in the darkness.

Great job, yeah, the space is tight, and it is bright when looking at it, but the output is no where near the HID headlight on the road at night.

But as soon as it gets dark, you turn on your low beams lol. Can you post day time pics though? I still want to see what they look like during the day.

Ya man, it's a new trend to drive at night with DRL's On a serious note, people who consider the LED's, usually are interested in seeing some night pics to get an idea of how the output looks. The moment of excitement has passed for me to take more pics. I will see what i can do.

lol no... the first pic is actually at the car wash. Soon after the install, I rinsed the salt off my car and decided to take pics.

What's the link to the bulbs you bought on VLEDs? I've heard about them and saw a link once but can't seem to find it.

They look nice btw!
