DIY: Headlight LED's and blackout

Is there a way to have these stay on only during the day (DRLs)?

Yes. It is fairly easy to wire these as DRL's.

You will need to run your main power to an ignition source. One that is only on when the car is on. Then use a relay to interrupt the power when the lights are on.

I have mine wired so that the angel eye and demon eye shut off when the headlights are turned on.

What all do I have to remove to put the headlight in the oven? There is that part on the bottom that says do not remove will shock. Do I remove that? :s

Thanks for the great DIY post!

I'm just wondering if anyone's ever tried to paint or seen someone paint the Projector Shroud and/or Turn Signal Shroud RED on a PEARL WHITE Z?

I know and have seen a few photos on this thread from those who painted them WHITE on a PEARL WHITE Z. But I was thinking maybe RED would stand out as an accent :O

If not can someone possibly photoshop the shrouds RED in one of those photos? I'm really curious and am inept at photoshop haha
