Default Got my DRL's in and installed ( pics inside )

Got them in yesterday, wanted to share w/ you guys....also purchase LED Reverse bulbs as well. Keep in mind the pictures look kinda blue, but they are bright white! Enjoy......



and the module needed so that it does not strobe, due to only needing half the energy....
















as you can see I have the factory HID on the low beams so you can compare it to the DRL's that its really not blue in person.....

As far as fogs...its a cheap way to make it look like HID's, but I don't think it will be as bright?

It says in another tread, so yes, you will lose high beam function.
