Hello there,


Okay I'm planing to inseert DTR lens into my 05 Headlights. I'm looking to get 07 DTR lenses and install them into my headlights. Have anybody done that before?

FYI: Daytime running lights = DRL.

Yes it's been done before.

It's amazing what you can find when you search the 3G Garage...

So let me get this right, you want to take 07-08 DRLs and mount them in your current headlights?

If so, it's not a direct fit. You'll have to fiberglass the area around the new DRLs to secure them to the housing.

Either wire the fogs like I showed above or just buy 07-08 headlights with the round DRLs already installed
