My new LED DRL's installed
Installed my new LED Daytime Running Lights today. Man these things are super bright! When they came in the mail I immediately pulled one out of the package and took it out to the car to touch the wires to the battery to see how bright they are. I saw spots for a while, kinda like when you look directly at the sun.

StillLine, these look great, and have a "stock" look, they don't look out of place on the SC430. Can you please share the exact name and type of LED DRL you have installed. Also, it would be appreciated if you could roughly outline how you installed the LED DRL's, where you are feeding power, if there is a separate power switch, and any other useful details.
Thanks again StilLIne! We're looking forward to the details.

Thanks all! Professional installation, why, yes, is there any other way? Don't answer that. So far, I'm 35 bucks and about 2 hours labor in this job. The LED strips simply appear to float under the chrome bar next to the fog lamps, even when looking at them very close up. Very sanitary install if I say so myself.
Got home from work tonight and with the garage door up and the SC backed in, I turned on the LED's in the darkness and holy smokes are they bright. No way you could run with them on at night without blinding oncoming traffic. Gonna wire them up to a remote control relay in the next couple days so I can turn them on/off with the push of button on a key fob like controller. Cant wait!
Here's a link to the remote control relay → http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-ON-OFF-SWITCH-WITH-FLASH-LED-LIGHTING-WIRELESS-REMOTE-CONTROL-RM02-/201079545856?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ed1466000&vxp=mtr
