    Two things:

    1. Now that I've got my HID headlights and fogs installed, I need to find me a good set of DRLs. I've seen several posts around the site about DRLs, but this is more of a shout-out. If anyone near the LA or IE area have an extra set, I'd be willing to buy them off you. If not, any recommendations of where to get them new? I really don't care to spend over $100.

    2. At some point in time, my lower outer grill cover for my driver side fog light fell off. I'm curious to see if anyone would happen to have one they'd be willing to sell. I know it's a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right? Again, if not, know of a good place to get one? Used or new, doesn't matter.

    Similar to this:

    ...but I don't really want to spend $40+ on it.

    Yo phaz, I don't think $37.95 is unreasonable for that piece of plastic. OEM parts are typically expensive. I would just buy it. Like you mentioned, it's probably a longshot for you to find someone selling theirs.

    Let's see....superbrightleds.com has some DRLs.

    Yeah...that's what I figured. I was planning to head to a dealer tomorrow just to see how much it would be through them. I'm sure it will be ridiculously over priced. But w.e.

    As for the DRLs, are those ones any good?

    KK6PD was going to sell me a set for a fairly reasonable price:

    Hella LEDayLine Stylish LED Daytime Running Lights | LED Driving Lights

    Better? Worse? Same? What makes those other ones more expensive than the others? They all seem to have similar specs.

    Oh BTW, I would space them out as far as possible when you install them. Otherwise they might look like buck teeth, lol.

    As far as to touch the fogs?

    I was thinking kind of in the middle of the fog light and license plate.

    Never mind, I guess that's the only way to do it. I thought there was space under the foglight but I was mistaken.

    Oh yah it's ijdmtoy not ilovejdmtoy. Wth is wrong with me this evening lol.

    Alright. I seem to have found what is causing the price difference.

    They all have different luminous intensities:

    $20 - 6
    $25 - 10
    $60 (side mount) - 80
    $80 - 80

    Seeing as they really aren't going to be doing much good lighting wise, is it really a big deal to get the higher lumens?
