DRLs - anyone tried these? ** now with pics on pg10 **
« on: October 23, 2010, 02:26:56 am »
Just trawling the net and came across these..  Has anyone tried these or know anything about them?  Not sure whether I like them or not - but it's a different attempt!  I'm assuming you keep your fogs and they get wired in to come on when the ignition is on and go off when any lights are switched on..

Any thoughts?

Paul.

Could do with seeing them fitted to a car and switched on at dusk/dark, but they look pretty well designed and a the best solution I have sen so far should you want some extra 'fog lights'  :laugh:

**Only used the term 'fog lights' to bag me a Robin in the keep net**  :grin:

They do look better than most other aftermarket ones I've seen.

Quad-fogs... who could want anything more!  Seems to be going a bit 'off theme' but it's all well-meant..  :signLOL:  No offence Robin!  :wink:  As the resident 'DRL-expert', would like to hear you thoughts Robin..



Anyway, I emailed the seller yesterday to see if I can get some pics of them on a car, and lit up, so as soon as I hear back, you'll see the pics..

Fingers crossed that they'll look good!  I might invest and be the 'guinea-pig'..  And, no, we don't now want hundred of pictures of guinea-pigs please!

Paul.

To be honest it would be worth them doing someone a deal to 'promote' them.

I'll see what they come back with and will let them know of the interest they are causing..  There are very similar ones available as well on eBay.de - just hadn't seen them before, so was a bit intrigued...  :laugh:

Yes, that was where I first saw them.  Then looked at website. 

I've just sent another message to them via their website, expressing lots of interest!

Cheers for links Stu.  I had seen most of them last night, but preferred the ones I posted as they are obviously 'GTI' specific.  They would look better if the LED strip was full-length, but I'm guessing it's due to lack of space behind the grill.

I think the strips built into an OEM headlight would be good.

I like the S6 ones best, just not sure how easy to fit they would be.  Plus they're quite pricey!
GTI going...
