mad ty0te ghetto DRL's

was bored tonight, so I decided to make my own ghetto DRL's. I basically took a pair of old 9005's that I had laying around and hacked the shit out of them. then I bore out the center to fit around my 194 corners. Better than drilling into my headlights I guess. I do lose my highbeams, but I rarely use those

here are a quick few pics. They fucking suck because this computer doesnt have a RAW converter so I had to use some crap ass program I found on the web.

I might tap another set back into my corners, but for now, I just sealed them up. I told it it was a ghetto mod!

dude, are those yellow 168s? ive been lookin everywhere for yellow ones and the closest i can get is amber... so ive (for the time being) had to make my own using a hi-temp yellow marker lol. i think it looks awesome and its not as ghetto as my first set of 'drls' lol i took telefone wire and since its really thing just connected a single led to the ends and put it into the highbeam area with the highbeam bulb still there...

yea i was thinking that, cause it looks kinda weird at night since my HID's are so bright. I could hook up some sort of DRL switch, meh. Depends on how lazy I am.

Why don't you just tap into your high beam wires for those lights? That way you just turn it on and off from your high beam switch..
