Hi Zedders, I have been pondering with DRLs for a while but a most of you know I like making my own parts if possible.

Anyway these are my next little creation, I borrowed a standard set of front bumper reflectors from my old mate 14N.first job was to drill out 5 perfectly spaced out 13mm holes in each, then prep for for paint, so rub down first 600wet n dry then 1000 to smooth them out, first coat was an etch primer,then 2pack undercoat, this is followed by 3 coats of base coat (blade silver) all finished with 3 coats of clear.This was the easy bit as the 10mm led lights I used have a little black plastic socket that they fit into which in turn fit nice and snug into the 13mm holes, these little black parts are also colour coded to match.

I then wired up each led to the next then put a connection clip in there so when I wired them up to the side lights I can simply unclip them to remove the bumper if needed :thumbs:
