When I first saw the photos I hated it. Seeing it up close, it wasn't so bad. Though i'd still rather have the DRLs integrated into the headlight housing.

To me it depends on the color. The only color I can say I do not like it in is white. I think with all the other colors the separated lamp housings are cool...

Theres a picture of a modded IS that painted the gap between the DRL and the headlights that made it look like they were in just one housing. I just dont know how that looks like in real life

Its in one of the posts in this forum with the title plastidip'd

I like the separate "arrow" LED DRL especially on black as it stands out the most. This is like no other vehicle in production and combined with the spindle grill and it's a home run

Also, I prefer the single HID lamp versus the dual since the bottom bulge in the bumper perfectly aligns with the single lamp.
