Thanks. Can you please translate the instructions for wiring the DRL on your website to English? Thanks in advance.

Also, I wanted the solid LED bar look compared to individual LEDs. Nicodep you are correct, no way I could install these lights without removing the bumper completely.
It took me a lot longer since I didn't remove the tires due to not having proper jack stands. I found out that the car is very low to the ground when wedge underneath.

Thanks. I did similar to you, but could not afford the Arden option, so I purchased a set of Jaguar XF LED DRL's off eBay and modified them to fit the opening. A lot more work, but $500.00 less.

The Hella modules aren't nearly as elegant, but they're $150 and don't require front bumper removal. Ideal daytime output, plus optimal horizontal and vertical light distribution. See post #323

If you don't want to install additional or replacement lamps, here's another DRL solution:

Thank you! I was thinking about a similar installation from some much cheaper Amazon parts, but I may end up with the Hella option. I am planning to do minimal modification to get the wires through the bumper. I do feel invisible on the road with everyone else having DRLs these days.
