EVO-R 2015 NISMO DRL Review

I want to apologize for the delay, I know you guys have been waiting for this review.

Thanks to George aka Paperboy42190 aka https://www.facebook.com/HeadlightGarage, who installed it patiently without any issue. I strongly recommend EVERY SOCAL MEMBERS to contact George to install your DRL. His fee is very REASONABLE considering how clean he installed these lights. Installation took about a couple of hours depends how you want the set up. Mine is set up to the ignition.

Overall, I am very HAPPY with EVO-R's DRL. I give these lights a 9.5/10.

1. The shipment came directly from Taiwan with great packaging. I am amazed that the shipping took only 4 days. Thanks to Jay for great customer service!

2. The Fitment is perfect. I have never seen the oem ones in person but these EVO-R brackets were molded PERFECTLY like oem. All you need to do is to screw those brackets onto the front bumper, no double sided tapes or modifications were needed.

3. The DRL came with eight separated LEDs. You will need to connect each individual wire into one positive wire and one ground wire. Please DO NOT ask me how to connect the wires to the car as I have no idea how to do wiring.

4. We know from the beginning that these DRL's don't come with lenses. To me it's not a big deal BUT I do wish that they come in WHITE LEDs instead of yellow LEDs.

5. The brightness is what a DRL should be during day time. I am not planning to drive at night with only DRL without my headlights on.

Since the LEDs are recessed inside circles, do you think they will hold water after rain or washing?

These LED are already water proof

White LEDs are blue LEDs with yellow phosphor coating. If you take a UV or blue LED flashlight and shine it over the phosphor coating, it'll start glowing.

Other than that, it looks pretty cool!

Did you add the CF cover yourself?

Yes. It's a wrap.
