So I bought a set of DRL lights from eBay. Honestly pretty happy with the quality and so far performance for the price paid but the question is if anyone used them before?
I am planning on fiberglassing lover grills to fit these perfectly. I don't want to take time and make fiberglass mold if these light will stop working in 3 days. Funny thing they go on eBay for 100$ from US resellers. After writing to few sellers and asking them where were this DRL manufactured, all replied Taiwan. Well if you order them directly from Taiwan on eBay, they will only cost $50. Anyways, I know know you et what you pay for but still.

Thanks for taking the leap for all of us n trying them out.
It's only $50 but I can't see myself buying leds unless I see it on a Veh first.
Hopefully supply demand economics help all LEDs come down in price
These look ok..not great... I don't like how u can see a yellow dot n circled center for each led... bit odd..maybe I'm picky
The light they put out looks very good thou..nice white..
Maybe u could temp rig them on..just a test fit before fiberglassing them to get a taste if u would like them

Well, I was planing on tinting the glass anyways allowing DRL to blend in with the grille better. I am more concerned about overall quality and the "life time" of the product. $50 coming from Taiwan leaves me questionable but $300+ on some super quality made (as they claim) DRL is simply too much as I think.

I know the set you are talking about/using...
My dislikes about those are the size of the housing...
all though the smd are super bright... but, the set up makes them blur/blend together when turned on... again in my opinion it looks like a regular fog light. I went with another set that is offered on ebay... I have it installed and am very happy with it (4mths now) .. looks very much OEM...Fits nice.
Attached are pictures of what I have... Sorry about the camera phone pic. just ran out and snapped a pic

The set of LEDs you got were my first choice, I almost bought them, but then seen the video for the ones I have, the video made me change my mind. I personally like the once I have more over the ones seen on your car. Everyone got a different taste and opinion. I do love the eyelids though. Sam still never posted anything about his website being opened so this weekend I am going to fiberglass the LEDs into the grilles and build some eyelids. I will post some pics within few weeks after I install the lights.
Please do post... I'm sure they will look good.. once it is all said and done.
cheers!
