Retro fit DRL's - opinions?

is this a photoshop mock up or have you done this?  kinda looks "factory"...but think i prefer the ones that sit within the headlights.

It is a mock up, but I have fitted them in the vRS, and will be doing the same on the GT.

weirdly i prefer them on the vrs!  are they hooked up via the sidelight switch or something...does the auto light function get compromised?

I think that looks pretty cool...depends how far they sit out when you get it done..

They will be flush with the grille which I will modify to accept them.

I like them, lots!!  if you don't mind can you tell me where you got them? And what switch you are using? I presume there a bit of wiring involved? Would love to do this to my GT.

At this stage it is just a photoshop mock up, but I will be ordering the lights in the next few weeks.  I've had them fitted on the vRS for a couple of years now and I personally think they look very OE.  Wiring is actually quite simply, on the Octavia negative goes to the - side of the battery, positive goes to position #1 on the headlight plug and the yellow controller wire #10 iirc (easy to find out though).  With the controller wire attached the drl's will go out when the dipped beam comes on.  The biggest job was modifying the grill inserts to fit the lights flush with the bumper.  One other thing I did was wrap them in smoke tint Lamin-X film, so when they are off you can hardly notice them, which I like.  

For the Golf I will get another set of lower grilles and play with old ones.  I've just received confirmation from the supply that they will work with auto lights which I wasn't sure about.  Once I have completed the fit I will give you further details, and a 'how to' guide if you want?

Who asked you?   

I like them, but I'm not sure I want to do it........

I think they are turning into those bonnet washer jets that lit up that you could use to get! Most of the ones iv seen have been done very badly and just like cable tied onto the bumper

Below are a couple of pictures of the fit on the vRS, the first one is modified and colour coded grille inserts to allow piping to feed the intake -

they really do just look....right on the Skoda.  i think the front end is better suited than the golf for these.
