I like these DRL's

Can I ask what you paid for them?

I already have double beam LED headlights so I'm good there

Less than 300 USD for a pair (not include shipping cost).

Nice. I've been considering something like this, but still trying to find people who've been running them for a while so I can get some long-term reviews.

I don't really care about the display/show function shown on the last slide. I'm mainly interested in the DRL sequential signals.

This is too much, not the one I got with sequential turn signals only.

$300 and did you have to ship your own DRL for him to do work on or does he send you new DRLs?

Pretty much 3rd party is China factories, these have been available for some time already. Would be interested in the quality of them and any quirks with them.

Those lights are OK, especially the streamer DRLs.
However, the tabs of the headlights are exactly in the original placement and need spacers to adjust.

My project is on hold as I made a huge mistake and probably blown my ECU.

It could be just the DRL's relays, the LED computer, or both; that went bad.

I'll know by next week.
