Come on then guys, how easy would it be to achieve this?
I may start a new thread on it to gather thoughts and opinions, but that's the kind of DRL I've been looking for all along. It's bit of a third party mod and probably no-one else in the World has tried it other than the US guy in the link, but is it feasible?
Would anyone on here have the skills to achieve it? :happy2:
Thanks!

Audi don't actually 'disable' the DRLs when the indicators are on - they merely dim them (by about 50%) - and only on the side the indicators are on.

Hey Robin, Whats your opinion on these DRL's on eBay???

I haven't got the open foglamp grilles so once you decide where to attach the 6drl lamp hosing you could just cut out the 6 diagonal holes needed.
I don't know if the housing and the spacing between the led's would match the holes in the vents, but they could???
Also getting the housing to sit flush behind the grill holes and look good at the same time might be tricky.
Just a thought I had......Might look pants. :ashamed:
Here is a few pics of yours that I had a play with.

That's quite clever and tidy but because the bulbs are each separated visually they will look 'diamonte bling' when switched off, as in your mock-up. Could be great on a show car though.
I'd also want to check the quality of them compared with sealed units from the likes of Hella.
I think that the ones currently being discussed in the other thread are a much better solution:
