I wouldnt even bother with those LEDS, their probably extremely dim and barely visible during the daytime. You should buy some 1W 5mm LEDS and replace the ones that come because if not do not expect to have them seen during the daytime

Ricetastic!

Why is the image of the lights at night time if they are advertised as DRLs?

I did the JDMtoy 4 LED on my sedan and they're almost as bright as my headlights (no joke). I also bought the kit with the relay box so that they're on when the car's running. Link below to some pics.

Awesome info. Do you have to turn any of the lights ON for the DRLs to turn on? I mean you have the DRLs on and your parking lights too. Can you give me a little more information about the lights?

The DRL's run through the relay box straight to the battery so they're on whenever the car is running. They're independent of any of the other lights. I only have my parking lights on for looks. Easy to wire but I had to cut and sand the lower grill area (didn't touch the bumper) for them to sit flush, otherwise it was an easy install.

So at night when I turn my lights on as well as my fogs, the DRLs will stay on too as I understand correctly.

Yes, thats correct, you can turn all lights on or off but the DRLs will be on regardless. I don't run with my fogs on now b/c its just too much with having the DRLs on.
