Very nicely done. 
Can you give me some feedback on the LEDs. Do the color match the other OEM LEDs out there (like Audis and MB). Are they bright during the day? and finally how much and where did you get them? I found something from Chrometech but yours seem a bit different. I pam refusing to pay $1,000 for some Xmas lights lol.
Thanks in advance

I purchased the DRLs from Chrometec they are exactly the same as Piecha. Chrometec are a distributor. You don't have to pay the tax if you live outside Europe which brings the price down a little. They are super bright during the day and drop down to 20% power with headlights on. It is non reversible as you have to cut bumper to install them. If you decide you don't like them you will need to buy a new front bar. I ended having to use some sikaflex to get them to sit flush against bumper, they do look factory to the untrained eye.
. Thanks!

If you email Piecha they wil be able to help you as they speak English. Shipping is very expensive from Germany and I would not use DHL as they take ages to arrive. I also ordered the eyebrow covers from chrometec and they seem to have got lost. The DRL's are a bit of a job to fit but do look good once installed

I was told by Piecha in an email that they are actually the manufacturer of all the products on the Chrometec website.
Chrometec are their distributor but they are exactly the same lights.

W204
Dude, that's one sick looking C63 you've got there, VERY NICE!!
I recently contacted Piecha to inquire about some of the W204 parts they have, and they also directed me to the same shop you go to (situated in Nangang district in Taipei, right?). I'm gonna try to drop by the shop to discuss more details on some other Piecha parts as well. Maybe I'll bump into you sometime eh.

very nice, thanks for the photo documentation. I actually learned some things from that. I want those german front lighting inserts. Ive seen those on other C63's on this forum and have always wondered about them. How did you go about ordering those?

and that's all ? just connect headlights to the day running lights kit ?
because on this picture it seems to have a lot of wires to connect
i try to understand all, because it's very expensive (but so nice !!) and i do want to be sure of my choice.
on my latest car (audi rs4) i had to find a +12v accessories (for swiching on the leds as soon as the car is ignited ) and use the headlight +12v just for signal to the led box kit (in order to put 50% instead of 100%)
so i was wondering where is catched the +12v accessories if it's connected to the headlight but headlight are off.
(i'm very sorry for my english.. i'm french and try to write as best as can).
