    Default DRL - Daytime running light

    I have been toying with the idea of some DLR for the front of the MPS. I know it is no Audi, but i actually like the look of the led setups. I dont have the gonads to pull the front headlight assermbley to put them in there so it got me thinking about other options.

    1) wrapped around the corner on a little black shroud that sticks out below the bumber:

    2) on the same shroud but more in the central part of the front bumber where there is a little recess: (problem with this spot is it puts em quite close together)

    3) Somewhere along side the foglights in the black part. More so in an up/down direction than accross, problem is it makes that section very busy:

    Anyway I welcome thought and any other options on where to put em.

    Cheers

    I just replaced my foglights with LED lights instead. Sits behind the glass but it's not a light globe/foglight so all good.

    Is that ok by the law though? In wa ur not allowed to have foggies on. That is an interesting point if you replace the globe however. Might have to look into that

    I looked into this as well. Problem is there really aren't too many level areas on the front of the car, unlike a golf which has nice square brake ducts, I.e Golf R.

    There was a new member recently who had blue led parkers in a Aluminum Gen II. He placed them at the corner of the "mouth" where it's closest to the head lights. Not a bad spot.

    It's not easy on the Gen II face. Good luck.

    I think the no fog light rule is everywhere now but led lights are fine. You'll be fine however you may still get pulled over ( unlikely)

    I really like the sound of this. Is there a LED light that fits or do you need to adapt it somehow?

    Led's as daytime running lights seem to be all the rage at the moment..I intalled some over the weekend on the bottom section of my headlights. And another member has been tryin to squeeze them in between the headlight and the bumper!!

    How do you remove front headlights?

    replacing the foggy globe with LED could be the go by the look of it. Interesting what the cops would have to say about it tho.
