Philips LED/DRL

Sure,
Install was simple. It comes with a control unit that is prewired for the battery, just loosen the nuts on the terminals, there a connectors on the end of the wires, slip them behind the nut and tighten.
As for the lights, I used the 3m double sided tape, cut a trip the size of the light and placed on top, then just pressed into place. Can't really use the brackets that come with the kit . No where to put in the brackets as far as I could tell. The 3m tape works really well.
Each light comes hardwired at the light and a connector that connects to the control unit.
There is a third wire that the recommend you tie into the parking lights (they provide the connector), will make the DRL's dim when you put on the parking/headlights. I chose not to use it.
I removed the grill to make it easier to get to the wires at the bottom of the bumper. You can find post on how to remove the grill. You also have to remove all the engine shrouds.
Took me about 30 minutes give or take a few minutes.

Chris, I will try to get a close up today and post it. I had the same as CJ and Tee, they look good but the color temp was a little too high for me. I think they are like 6000-7000 which is trending toward blue.
I wanted to stay closer to white so these worked better for me. They are however a little pricey, I think I paid close to $80 on Ebay for the kit.

Don't think I haven't considered it. I like what you and a few other CL members did with the Plasti dip.
My first priority is to get a set of rims. I have snows on the stock rims now (can't wait to take them off). Just need to decide if I am going with a set of 19" OEM's or 20" aftermarkets.

CJ, I had purchased and installed a set that looked very similar to those you had from another CL member. However it is possible they were different, when I had them on they looked like a higher temp, I think they even said 6000-7000. I liked them but the Phillips just appear closer in color to the stock headlights and my HID fogs.

I decided to take my snows off a couple of weeks ago as we get so little (if any), snow here in this part of Canada, especially at this time of year. Guess what it's doing outside right now? Argghhhh!!! LOL. Oh well, supposed to get up around 55-60 degrees by Tuesday.
