I will make sure the ladies say 'wow' in conjuntion with seeing my interior purple radiant LEDs, they will also now see the purple DRL LEDs in the beed style along the purple headlight. Yep, purple is the way to go. It makes the girls (YEAAA!) say wow and compement my lexus. That's how i know I like purple!

Soon as I get my c-class (this week or possible next), I am going to deck it out with purple... even YOUR IDEA!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP. You seem like you're as cool as the people at superbrightLEDs.com who make purple dome lights (they're friendly too)! They're really really cool, now YOU make purple lights too. That's how I know you're cool.

I think the new E Class has similarly designed foglights. As far as the eyebrows go, I like it, but I am not sure I like adding Audi styling to a Benz. Especially a class-leading Benz.

If I'm not wrong, the lights are white when viewed in person. It the camera effect that made it look purple. Go, nrgy. Please quickly post how did you do it soon. The hole of the bulb is quite small. hmm..

Unfortunatly you can't do it because of the Canadian law about daytime running lights.

Couldn't see what they actually looked like cause they are under the black camo wrap, but from the description they article gave they said ala Audi for what its worth.

So I decided to embark on a little project this weekend and quickly created a crude mock up of DRL LEDs for the W204 C-class. I only did one headlight, but you can get a general idea of what my idea looks like, and no it's not a Pshop. I tried my best to take pictures that represent the actual color of the LEDs, which IMO is very difficult to do but I think I pulled it off. But as is the case with most things, looks even better in person.

It's getting late as I just managed to take some decent pics so I won't go into much detail right now, but basically I think something like this could easily be manufactured for the masses and the install very simple (ie. 10 min), AND look oem.

Anyhow, let me know what you guys think, good or bad.



what a sexy car!! i love the brow audi style lights

And here is the product they used.
http://www.oznium.com/thin-led-strip

Cheap for $20 a strip.....anyone care to try it out?

I might do this on my Boxster in the fog lights.

Is the Eyelid for the C63 clear? I don't think LED on the eyelid in my c350 would come through like that, would it? I must say it looks great!

I just went to the dealer to have my car checked
went to the C63
everything is the same except for the color of the headlight housing.
