Installed some DRLs on my M Roadster today. What do you think?

I'm not sure why you would want them, but those look pretty good.

But wow, you have an Imola Red MR - lucky man!

You could have just coded the angel eyes to be on all the time - although they’re not very bright unless you change to an LED bulb.

Tried coding the angel eyes, but could not get them to function without the parking lights also on.

Those look pretty good. Got any DIY instructions and parts that you'd used? Thanks.

Twice large trucks started to pull into my lane while I was beside them. I'm hoping the lights make the car more visible.

LEDs - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LW ... UTF8&psc=1
Controller - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-LED- ... 2749.l2649

I hot wired the controller to the jump start post near the firewall. The LEDs light up when the engine is running.

Ive tried many different led lightbulbs and all provided disappointing or mediocre results. I ended up replacing the 10w oem bulbs with 20watt ones. Not as bright as I would’ve wanted, but a noticeable improvement nonetheless

First thing that popped into my head, I hate to say, was...,Err what's up doc.

Did you consider making them horizontal so parallel with indicators?

If I were ever to consider this, I’d have 3 a side to form a ‘Z’

I like that idea!

It requires some very specific settings. Try as per my post here, as this worked on my car:
