Yep. Euro loonies made them mandatory.

I've given it up as a bad idea, hence no photos.

It didn't look right (as some of you mentioned). It looks so much better with the shiny fogs as they are supposed to be.

:D

What, she hasn't managed to escape yet? ;)

At the risk of being a sad middle-aged fashion victim (the saddest sort), I sort of have LED DRLs (and halos!) on mine - overkill is never enough. But I tend to use them because other road users are blind. And also because I couldn't work out why the sidelights on the projector units were so big and shiny:

If you want to know the sort of pissing about that would be necessary to make them legal on a 'Lude, have a look at this:

And no, I agree; DRLs on a pop-up NSX are a terrible idea. He's made an excellent job of them, but no...

LO

Really don't understand why the guy went to so much trouble to add leds to his NSX :? better Before IMHO.

I saw a Jag S type ( the horrid Rover look-a-like one ) the other day with led lights in the lower bumper :oops: it looked soooo wrong :shock:

Cheers ;)

Thing is, the NSX's fogs & side lights are actuated by a button on the centre console, so you CAN use them as DRLs without the headlights being up anyway...
