    New to the forum. I notice that when putting on the drl only top 4 are bright wondering if it is a design floor?

    Nope, not a design flaw. Only the top 4 light, the bottom ones that look like they should light up do not, they kept the circle theme going for aesthetics.

    I guess if you want to modify it by removing, drilling, mounting LEDs, wiring etc etc, sure it could be done, anything is possible by means of modification.

    If you mean can you light them the way they are currently stock from the factory, no you cannot because there is no physical LED in the bottom 2 that could be lit.

    In Paradox's picture, in the unlit photo, you can see the actual LED component as a tiny yellow rectangle behind the circular "lens" of the top 4. In the bottom two, there is no LED circuit board.
