Has anyone "black housed" the DRL LEDs on the '13 +?

ZeroZeta

There was someone on here that had completely removed the DRL and I think had modded up some brake cooling.

What do you guys think of a potential yellow overlay? Someone photoshop please.

What is the sense of blacking them out when they are always on during the day, anyway? Granted, it looks better when the car is parked, if that's what you are trying to attain. .........I removed mine completely.

I agree that blacking the drls don't really make sense since they are supposed to be lit up!

I'm considering a tint but I like the leds as it sets our '13s apart

Fixed for you.

Been thinking about this since I bought mine two months ago. I traditionally always yellow film my fogs. In fact I still have a roll of film but not sure to pull the trigger on this one or not.

Also to OP. The silver inside the LED is what makes the light output so much bright, blacking it out will make the output lower.

Looks good.

Now all we need is a center lower black cover for our bumpers?

Who used VHT? Did you just remove the bumper and DRLs to spray them? I'm considering a method to get my DRLs to match up with my theme. At the same time, if BlueBat made some overlays I think that would be satisfactory.

Personally I would black them out or remove them too. The LEDs are a distraction from the lines of the car and quite frankly ugly IMHO. Good luck OP

I'm worried if I put the yellow film on then once if I don't like them it may peel a layer of the plastic lense off from the led lights.

I remember this occurring when I test fitted some yellow film to some dodge nitro headlights. When I removed the film a layer of the headlight plastic also came off.

Hmm, I wonder if we could remove the DRLs, inserts some mesh like SteveBad did, and then run some kind of modified tubing through or around the wheel well to mimic the effects of the Stillen brake cooling kit?

Vinyl or paint etc on projecting lights, just dims the lights and looks like it belongs on a 1997 Eclipse.

If you're going to add black to projecting lights, paint the actual housings, dont dim the lights.

And if you're going to do black housing DRL's, then please do black housing headlights so it all matches.

Maybe i'm just anal and like things done right, and the theme matches the whole car etc.

I did mine yellow DRL. I quite like it. Also as a safety stand point since yellow has a shorter wave length.uploadfromtaptalk1431025890958.jpg
