The drls look great - almost oem
Could you show some pics of them switched off, because the light beam hides all the detalis of fog light covers.

Here you go, the DRLs switched off. As you can see the fog covers required some precise cutting.

The covers have a kind of inside shelf, which makes the installation easier.

Installing cheaper OSRAM DRLs like those http://www.arkona36.ru/images/stories/c ... rl-kit.jpg would be easier, but they have those chavvy multiple points of light that I am not quite fond of.

The other decent DRLs come from Hella and Philips. Stay away from cheap fleabay knock-offs, as well as the China-manufactured ones at, for instance, Norauto (though they also have Philips). They are dim, have plastic housings which cause them to overheat, and are likely to give up the ghost quite fast.
