LED Parking light as DRL

I'm curious if someone has installed LED parking light bulb and if is it bright enough to use it as DRL? Don't waste my Xenon bulbs to have turned lights

Them look like I wanna have better car, so I buy cheapest LED stripes. The prize is also cons.

The parking light LEDs are solution, but the question is them are bright enough?
I founded 8W V-LEDs and guess, that could be solution.

Also the stripping down headlight for install really nice and fancy LEDs inside is a little bit painfull due to warranty.

yah but the landing strip as we call it is kinda based off the audi's teary eye, no?

maybe even look at some of the PIAA offerings and see if you can wire it in the fang opening or the faux fang vent area. those are halogens if i remember correctly.

The best solution will be for most of us to use parking lights T10 W5W with bright bulb/leds. AUDI TT use 21W halogens.
