Since I'm very impatient, I went ahead and installed these myself today. My pictures are cell phone pictures and I apologize and this being my first diy post, I didn't take enough pics of the installation, but I have a couple and I'll try to be as descriptive as I can.
Awesome Thanks! Looks good +1 Rep. I may have to go by there on the way to my teeth cleaning lol.

Contacted a guy in BC Canada and he's willing to do a group buy for 5+ for $95 CND each + HST + $20 shipping for any quantity.

Not much of a break for people in US; but for those having a hard time dealing with Greddy directly (Canadians).

1. Yamaha R6

4.

I'm going to order the LED parking lights from vled as soon as they are back in stock, thanks.

Plenty thanks!


DRLs are on, but it's very bright out, so it's hard to see them
I'll post a night picture tonight with them on and I'll stand away from the car so you guys can see the entire car

All you get in the package are the LEDs in acrylic and two wires, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to hook them up so they are on all the time and independent from the projectors. I hooked it up to the parking lights. Hope that helps.

thanks for the pics Pontual Z! i think they look good, but honestly i was hoping for them to be brighter like the Audi's, and a little bigger so that they are noticeable. But thanks!

I just got mine it:





Notice that the curvature of the acrylic perfectly fits with the headlight curve of the headlights. I don't really need these as a DRL but I want it to accent the headlights at dusk and at night. I will get these on this weekend hopefully!

I believe that pictures cannot represent what some things really look like in person. Have you ever tried to take a picture of something only to try again and again because you can't accurately capture it on your camera as you see it in real life?

I will document it as much as possible, but don't assume they are 'pathetic' just because you saw a somewhat washed out full sun picture.
