Gary, sorry to be a pain, but could you clarify if those bolts used to attach the splitter were put through the existing holes below the bumper, or if it required drilling new holes in the bumper? This is important to me because if it utilizes the original holes, it means the mod is reversible, if for any reason, the fiberglass splitter is damaged or you decide you want to remove them down the road.

Hi - I had to check with my body shop and their reply was because the splitter didn't come with pre-drilled holes, they used what was already there on the car, so in essence no additional holes (apart from two - extreme left and right) were made.

No night-time pictures yet, but a small video of when I had a smaller much dimmer set of DRLs with a relay that switched them off on dipped beam:

Didn't mean to make you have to go out of your way to find that out, but many thanks for checking on that for me! Appreciate it. It looks great though. Nice job they did with the fitting.

Marvelous! Just what I needed to happen, motivation to spend more money on my car! Joking aside, this modification is well priced and looks absolutely astounding. Thank you for all of your help thus far, enoy her in the best of health.

Has anyone found lights like these in the states? They look better than the other led DLRs I've seen available here.

While not the same as the ones the OP posted, these are the ones I have on my car... Hard to capture how they actually look to the eyes in a photograph, but here is a photo we had... Looks better in person...

Pedro sells a kit like this

Pedro's Technolab, is he a sponsor here as well as PPBB? I've bought some of his stuff and he stands behind his products.
