Aftermarket DRL LED Strip experience?
Hello all,
My DRL LED strip on the front bumper has started to accumulate some condensation. Also, one of them is starting to flickering. I have been debating if I want to spend $200 OEM or $40 aftermarket "Made in China" LED strip. As this is not a part of the headlight housing but rather just a LED strip, I am leaning more toward to saving myself $150 by purchasing "cheap" aftermarket one. My question was to see if anyone has experience with these aftermarket led strips.
Thank you for your time.

I'm not sure about replacing the strip. You would have to figure out how to find a matching intensity (as you know, vary by day-night) so not sure if aftermarket ones can do that.
Which would leave you looking for the housing replacements - although everybody that has one from china gets condensation or they don't work, as I've seen.
