DRL Light Strip

What do you guys think about these. I'm all about the budget buy and for this price i think i am going to try them no matter what. I have a base model front bumper and would be positioning them in the left and right lower grille pieces.

Well 9000k is way too blue for my tastes, would look too rice. Perhaps if it was 5000k it would look nice and white. None of the OEM strips on cars (Audi's, etc) are close to 9000k, they are all a clean white.

I like the LED strips on cars that came factory equipped with them, Audi, Mercedes, etc. When they're added later (aftermarket), people seem to think that you're trying to make your car look cooler, like you wish you had an Audi, or Mercedes. I see these LED strips inside the headlights of older cars and it looks odd IMO. My 2 cents.

I have a set of Hella Drl bars with wiring. Dot approved, they dim when main beams are turned on. Very bright, and pure white. Quality product.

I like the design from a easy fit and oem look point of view. However, this is small and looks rather cheap compared to the benz version. The benz version is bigger and gives a brighter output I think. I would not go with this for those reasons. But the design looks legit.

The quality ones of the benz, audi are made by philips I think. Cars going forward will need led DRLs. I think it's the law in some european countries by a certain date and to have older cars retrofitted. So it's a safety issue there. Cheap kits, with low output and that are thin I don't like and that looks cheap.

Lol 9000k is a nasty blue. It'll look really cheesy/cheap on a G. 4300k or 5000k might not look bad. Even companies that advertise 6000k for LED strips tend to look more blue than white
