Excuse my bad paint skills but has anyone done delete daytime runnin lights before?
This would leave just the outer lights.
Something I always wondered how it would look like if done.

The DRLs are the horizontal lights on the bottom row. The inner lights, I believe are the hi beams and parking lights.

Anyways, I don't think it's easy or even possible cause the lights are both one unit. I also don't think it will look good either but I could be wrong after seeing it actually done.

you cant....

but if you have a black car you can tint the inner/smaller lights to get the illusion you wanted to achieve.

PS: Kevin is right, those are your possition/park lights and high beam, DRLs are the ones in the bottom.

That's a good idea.
I was more interested if this was a mod that is done but it doesn't seem to be the case..

Here's a photoshopped image of what that might look like.

I dig it. I always found the inner lights looked like an afterthought.
Thank you.

looks good with Kevin's photoshop. some people like the quad lights as it sets the e apart.

OP, best thing about the tint is you can DIY it in less than 10mins and remove it as easy when you get tired of it.
