Yes I did and found that the sticky was the best idea ever!!! It has everything!!! Thanks for sending me there, I really didn't know about it.

Here are some pics of my install, before and afters. The lights are from a company called Höen. They specialize in euro cars but have many things for others as well. They have some badass tag light LED's for our car too. The best part about them is the customer service, if you have a problem they will take care of you! So here's the pics

After:


Left side (passenger) is Höen bulb and right (driver) is OEM

Hey 07tl-6speed can you post a quick pic of your DRL's? I would like to see them. These Höen ones are called Xenon matched lights. I actually had them in my Mercedes fog lights and they were major different compared to the OEM's.
Take a look at them in my AMG! Left side is OEM and the right side is the Höen bulb:

Is it just me or does the Höen bulb look way brighter on the AMG compared to the TL?

Yeah take a photo of yours please I would like to see them. As far as the AMG bulbs, it took a 9006....the TL-S is a 9005. I'm not sure why the TL's isn't bright compared to the AMG's. All I can guess is the DRL's might run a lesser voltage??
