Hi!

As my car doesn't have the factory led lights, I thought maybe just get an aftermarket DRL kit. There are many kits to choose from, all which intented to set up to the foglights.

I thought before I attack the ebay or any other places, I get some advices from here!

Thanks for any input!
I don't want the cheapest, I want to get the best option, which wouldn't look like some 10 dollars chinese rubbish...

I had wired mine to the ignition fuse:laugh2: Simply took out the fuse, stuck the wire in on the side and put the fuse back... Would turn on everytime i had the car on:laugh2: I bought mine on ebay from motorfansclub for about $90. Have noticed theyre prices have increased! Im in love with the DRLs, gives the car an aggressive look! IMO

Of course the are legal. From 2014 every car has to be equipped with Daytime Running Lights. If the factry DRL is not LED, then all cars should come with simple bulb-type DRLS. (like mine Mazda3 was. Only a certain upper and more expensive trim levels include the built-in headlight DRLS)
Sadly my furthcoming new Mazda still won't own the LED headlights, only simple bulbs, so I had to order a chinese LED DRL again:)

(Don't look so good with those yellowish bulbs)
