In the bin would be better than Ebay, as that way you'd not see them again.

Seriously though, why would you want something so pointless and ugly on your car?

CateraMV6 has made a good looking job of lighting his car.

I do like CateraMV6's work, it always looks very professional. His install is the best retro-fit i've ever seen for Daytime running lights, looks sooo much better than tacked onto the bumper like some chav-me shyte Halfrauds style.

I do think LED lighting is pants, unless it was meant to be there from the R&D stage. Add to that the various construction & use laws involving motor vehicles and all of a sudden it's much easier just to forget them IMO.

Well daytime running lights, mostly if not all in LED form, are appearing on nearly all new cars right now due to some union initiative.
Audi seemed to be the first to really integrate them, but recently I've seen so many more with them installed at the factory, and in most cases not looking too shabby.

The mistake most people make is just sticking them on willy nilly

CateraMV6 has done the right thing by integrating them as far as possible into the existing lighting setup. They look way more pro that way and suit the car.
Then again, he's had the lights apart to do that crazy BIXENON swap thing that i would never have considered lol.

Some people will go that extra miles and some just wont.
Personally, I wont, because my car is worth much less than his and its not worth my energy for a car that I for all intents and purposes wont have for a massive amount of time.

He on the other hand has a mint example of a high spec car, and i can see why he's put so much effort into it. It looks good.....
(apart from the black headlight Eyelids...stand out too much right now, if he's going to paint them then fair enough)

Its not often I agree wholeheartedly with Martian and Tunnie, but I do here :y

Why bother?  Its more likely you'll end up with something chavvy and looking naff, and for what gain?
