![]() I want them to blind people. During the day, our Xenon lights are actually pathetic. If you stand in front of the car with your headlights on during the day, you can barely tell they are on. They look exactly like how they look in PontualZ's headlight picture. Since the LED's look to be about the same brightness as the headlights in the picture, I made the assumption that it's just as unnoticeable as having the headlights on during the day. Maybe I'm wrong, but even Pontual stated that it's hard to see during the day. If your intention is for night time lights then they probably look good. But for alot of us who want it as a DRL, they look like a fail. Let us know otherwise Christian. |

![]() That's not why I said to take it at dusk though. The camera isn't as precise as your eyes and doesn't capture the exact conditions. You can adjust aperture and shutter speed for example to make the picture seem darker or lighter. Taking a picture during mid-day washes everything out (overexposed) unless you really know what settings to use on the camera. It basically makes it hard to show contrast between lighting levels. The lighting conditions at dusk are easier to cope with than direct sunlight when the light it softer. Same goes for capturing the Audi lights. ![]()

Daytime running lights are not meant to illuminate the road in daylight. They are meant to make your vehicle more visible to others. These lights do not seem to do that. They are a nice accent but they should not be sold as DRL in my opinion.

I just looked back at the first post and the LED strip is longer in the "Ad" pictures than what PontualZ installed? The "Ad" LED's extend under the parking light?

For those looking for DRL, these are available from Nissan. Very expensive though.

I got to work and took a look at my headlights. OEM fitment is perfect with the bumper. You say it's a tight fit but it seems like there is 0 space between my headlight and bumper. I'm sure you can force it but but do you think the constant strain/pressure is going to be good?
