I'm see-sawing on whether or not I want to do this on my 04 S.

This is actually my car with the lights temporarily wired up, using the holes in the grill that came from the factory. I am thinking along the lines of using this as a DRL.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

Remember to check your local laws in regards to color of lighting as well. Anything other than the normal colors, you may be ticketed for impersonating an emergency vehicle.

Personally, I don't like the viewing of leds, too much. I have wired led strips behind my badgless grille to give it the glow. But again, that's my .02.

Yeah, I hear you, but they fit perfectly in the holes in the grill. This is why I am on the fence. The LEDs are white . .cool white probably close to 6000k is my guess, so they are a little blue, but not overly so. They will not blink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/1.gif) and I am thinking of hooking them up to parking lights, since there are very little in the way of front markers on our 6's. I'll post a night time view shortly.

Thanks..

At least turned off in daylight it is completely stealth.
