OEM Daytime LED Copy (Updated pics)
 

I was looking at buying the oem Daytime running lights for my G but couldnt bring my self to pay the $600+ tag for 6 small leds. I was working on putting some audi leds in my headlight but put that project on hold. I saw someone using some 3W highpower leds on another forum and liked how they looked. The only thing I didnt like was they looked attached to the bumper. So I decided to try doing the same thing but replicating the OEM lights using the leds and a housing I printed out on a prototype machine. I found some lower profile leds on ebay and I am Waiting on the daytime auto on/off harness from ebay before I install them on the car.

looks just like OEM, and you can't beat $50. That's even cheaper than some of the ugly aftermarket LED DRL kits that try to mimic the Merc E-Class lights.

Nice work, This is exactly what I was thinking of doing, but don't have access to the awesome prototyper you have. When you get a final version, any chance you'd sell a few?

I really want to see your headlight project turn out as well.

Sign me up for a pair of them as well if you would ever think of selling a few sets! Nice...

You and that prototype machine! LOL. I was looking forward to seeing how the "in-headlight" DRLs came out, but I think these look much cleaner.

Not personally excited about DRL's, but I'll say this...

Skillz!!! :JAMIN:

In for the pics and the posts about the wiring.

Nice! :biggthumpup:

Once you get the design perfected, you should sell these DRL kits for the sport and non-sport front bumpers.

Awesome ! I want one now

Sign me up as well!

That is going to look good! Nice work!

Interesting, look forward to the finished job.

Very Nice!! Was thinking of doing something similar

Can you post the link to where you purchased them?

Looking good.... def sign me up if you are interested in selling...

You definitely should consider selling the final product! Looks incredible
