I ordered these for $119. There are waterproof, exteremly bright and can be ordered in multiple lengths. I'm going to set them up this coming weekend and will do a write up for the forum. These seem very heavy duty and the Customer Support was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the product and professional. I'll keep you posted...

I'm not planning on mod'n my headlights....This is my daily driver, so that much effort and/or $ for a pair of lights that are going to get chipped (lessons learned) is not for me. Looks cool though!

Well, after working for two days to get this things to running correctly, I finally figured out that illuminated toggle switch I bought to turn them on/off was actually marked wrong. So, here are some first pictures of the new DDLs.

Someone cue up the Knight Rider theme....just teasing. I wish there was more room for better lights below the headlight itself. I bought the string that fits in the small space between lights and bumper from IJDMTOY.com LED Strip & LED Turn Signals, Parking, Reverse, Map Dome, License Plate & Trunk and I'm already down a couple of LEDs and its been like 3 or 4 months. Bought thicker, brighter set thinking I could tweak it but no luck.

LOL! Good one....yeah, these are waterproof, steal cased and very solid as far as I can tell. Very bright at night. Really happy with them so far.....

Knight Rider.....LOL! Never did like the HOSS! Kit was cool in the day though...more of a Dukes of Hazard guy myself...but....

However, I do know way more about SpeedRacer than any single person should.....

Default DDL interfere with TPMS

So I finally figured out what I think has been going on. You tell me if this makes sense. I installed the DDL and ever since, it seems that when I turn them on, about 15 minutes later, my TPMS flashes and indicates "malfunction". Went to the dealership today and they reset the codes. Stated that because it wasn't on when I arrived, they can't tell which one. Thinking about the fact that I've never been losing tire pressure, that something else is up. Tested the theory on my way home that if the DDL's are off, no TPMS errors. If I turn them on, then about 15 minutes later it flashed again. This time I immediately turned them off and the TPMS flashing went away. Since the TPMS is wireless, I started thinking that the DDL's are somehow transmitting a pulse or signal that must be interrupting the TPMS. Called CARiD's technical support and believe it or not, these DDL's actually submit a radio signal (why I don't know) that if too close to the front tires, could affect the TPMS. They said the solution is to cover the backs of these with aluminum foil and that should keep the signal from interfering. I'm not sure to laugh at this or to seriously do this. I'm going to laugh my *** off if this is really the problem and the solution.

Hello. Are they mounted with double sided tape or did you drill into and bolt them to the bumper?

Default Philips DRL-4 Kit seems better

Based on the OP, I think the Philips set outperforms Notto. Philips has no weird radio signals (what the hey?!) and good tech support, plus comes with a control unit and costs only $85.

I prefer my mounting location, although of course that's a matter of personal taste.

I used double sided 3M tape to make sure I liked them where they were and the location actually gave me the best lighting; use then as backup brights in the very dark Virginia country side....I played around with multiple locations but this ended up giving me the best of everything. Once I was happy with the location, I drilled small holes and did the installation AND used the 3M doublesided tap; just to keep them from moving around and to seal in the gap. I went for both Form and Function with these. I even thought about cutting out the black plastic near the headlights and license plate, but in the moch up, it just looked goofy and getting them straight was going to be a real issue...

Nope, I like it, I just had no idea how I could mount these sideways without major cutting of the front bumper. 3M tap only goes so far here in VA.

Well.....as it turns out. One of these already burned out and they are not in business from what I'm finding out. However, CarId was great at finding me a warranty replacement. I'm very pleased with their support. It was quick, on par and honest. New parts are on their way. Even though sub-vendor may not be available the prime sponsor, CarID provided great support! Just letting everyone know so you don't order this brand if they are still on peoples shelves.
