Indoor projects like this keep me sane in the winter. Gotta keep busy or you slowly go a bit nutty. Not sure what I'm going to do next, but I need to come up with something, because I have about 4 1/2 more months of winter to get through....

I was thinking about LED drl's. Not drop in bulbs, but custom ones.... I'd want it to look as factory as possible. I'm just entertaining ideas.

Hella makes these universal LED drl's. Maybe somehow opening up the DRL lense and stuffing this inside?

These are from TMTuning.com. THey have low beam, high beam, fog and DRL modules.

yup, agree.. Depending how they look lit up, I might replicate this setup..

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the output. The job itself is really easy. And, there's really two ways to do this. The projector that came in the halo housings I'm using is identical in size to the P1 bought seperately. It is set up as an H11 halogen projector, though. So, you basically just swap the HID version directly in. You could keep it with the halo if you want, and that'd make it really, really simple. You woudn't have to do anything else. I don't really like halos, so I opted to remove that, which made things way more complicated.

Keith, those bottom ones look interesting. I've yet to see a truly bright automotive LED lamp, though. They look good and clean, but lack depth from what I've seen, but one of these days soon someone is going to get it right.

Have you seen the new BMW laser headlights?? Let's see people retro THAT....lol

Found my end caps and got my bulbs in today. Pretty slick little setup. Only problem with this is to adjust the angle of the beam you have to take the endcap off which isn't exactly making adjustment easy. But, hey. It'll work.

And this is a blurry phone pic of why I am in no hurry to go lay in the snow outside and do the actual installation just yet. I think I'll wait for the weather to shift to, well, anything slightly warmer:

And I thought this was a pretty good example of my TSX's cutoff:

Test-fired them tonight. Both work. Very hard to tell final output on the vehicle from my buddies living room floor....lol. Got all fired up to try to get them on the truck, though. Temps are supposed to be in the low 20's tomorrow...I can probably work in that if the wife doesn't need the truck for kid hauling. I'm crossing fingers that I'll get a chance to install tomorrow, though.
