Anyone have 2014 Honda Accord DRL's on their 3G?

I think the row of led's as the drl's on the new accords and Acuras look sick. Is it possible to do this on an 08 TL? Has anyone done it?

You mean the row of LED's on the new Accords and Acuras and every other car made these days? I agree they look pretty cool, but only on cars that they came from the factory with them. Something about them installed aftermarket on cars that didnt originally come with them just dont look right IMO. If the job was done VERY nicely then it might be ok I suppose, but no matter how well the job is executed its gonna scream aftermarket which I personally dont like.
I think the easiest way to go about doing something like this would be to use the Osram LEDriving kits they sell. This way you dont have to go through the trouble of doing an actual retrofit from spare Accord headlights or something, and you dont have to use the cheapo looking LED strips that you see ricers putting all over the front of their cars now. THe Osram LEDriving kits are a pretty nice looking stad alone DRL setup. I can see these being retrofitted into the headlights, but it could be difficult since there isnt a whole lot of room to put them. Most guys on the forums have installed these somewhere on the front bumper kind of in the openings near the fog lights.

What Acura comes with led drls? I don't think any. The new MDX and TLX don't count because those are actual headlights.

are you sure? only the "touring" model has LED headlights. Every other model accord that has the "rows of LEDs" are just daytime running lights. But the OP said "the row of LEDs as daytime running lights on the new acuras look sick" and I was just wondering what acura he's talking about because none have LED DRLs afaik

The only way I'd consider them is if they looked and fit like they were supposed to be there. No eBay LED's for me.. If there was a way to get the Accord DRLs to fit and look good, I'd be game.
