It takes quite a bit to modify an american TL with DRL's... need to buy a bunch of crap.

I wired my fog lights to come on with the parking lights and leave it on all the time. Simpler mod and looks pretty cool :-)

peace.

first of all the lights were not HIDs, and they were only coming from where our high beam is, they are not bright, but look good, because remember in our cars if the high beam comes on so do the low beams

I just installed DRLs in my 04 TL

Sorry I don't have pictures yet But I just made my fog lights double as daytime running lights. I purchased a kit that makes the fog lights come on to 75% intensity when ever the car is running. it doesn't affect the normal operation of my head lights or fog lights.
