I dont like those, IMHO. I suggest making your stock parking lights into running lights with this product. It doesn't just 'turn on' your parking lights, it lights up both of the filaments in the bulb thus making it twice as bright, just as the new DRL modules work in 93+ f-bodies.

i'm gonna consider that product. i put these on but am thinkin of removing them. i dont like the look of the bumper without those 2 black pieces that go in front of the lights. but at the same time the lights look great at night with the 2 main headlights.

decisions decisions...

If I were you I would use either oval or rectangular shaped aftermarket driving lights. I really don't think the rounds ones would look that great.

put them in your aridam, so they are not seen unless you get under the car, they will shine out, and all you have to do is bend the bracket and put in some screws.

Thats what I was thinking because I still have the factory driving lights but the parking lights have to be on in order for them to work. So I was thinking of putting a strobe kit in the factory driving lights (just for show) and then use the after market ones for driving.

My nose is one solid piece. I didnt know they had a removable piece next to the driving lights.

I'd really like to do the Sequential Turn Signals mod that they have on that page.
