--When you get tired of your Fog lights you make your own LED's DRL's--

after going back and fourth with the lame Wald leds and not being able to get much done i got tired of it and went on my own.... everything is OEM other than the LED's. The mesh is OEM and the fog surround is OEM cut of from fog light surrounds. i bought a set from a member here but i only took the mesh and did everything else than i tapped into the city lights...

OEM (e55) mesh all fresh and painted (matches my middle mesh perfect)









Hard part..

cut all around the fogs and leave the clips were the screws go... (this one is not easy)




Whatever scratches i made i filled primed and painted them same color as the grill...



If your car is white you need to paint the fog light bracket on the back because it shows behind the grill and looks like crap and i also wrapped my ballasts with electrical tape





DONE... they look amazing and i am wayy happy with them (they look even better in person)

Cheers





a CLOSE UP








PEACE

Looking good Bert! What did you use to cut the plastic?

I'm starting mine soon. Same idea, but I'm going to try to use these DRL's

holy smokes! Looks amazing!! I always see you doing very original stuff bro. Very Tasteful.

I agree if you paint the screws same color as everything else. It will look even better.

BTW...love the grill badge!
