100% agree with nearer to the sides, but had to keep them out of way tow eye and had to cut the grill slightly to fit them was a pain but i'm glad with the results

Well they're not 'in your face' like some OEM Manufacturer fitted DLR's so these get my vote! :y

Pointless things really, terrible tacky LED's stuck on a bumper of a 11 year old car trying to make it "look" new.

and before the complaints come flooding in regarding my comments, he did ask for opinions  ;)

Nope, think it looks awful. Sorry.

Any aftermarket LEDs will always look like an aftermarket, chavtastic, pointless addition. And this particular one does not disappoint  :'(

IMHO, of course. And it would be boring if we all liked the same things. :y

Thanks for the replies, would just like to add why I fitted them.
Why a lot of people fit them to make cars look newer I am under no illusion that this Willard my car look newer only a child might think that it is a new car, the reason I have done this is that my mum and sister have extremely bad eyesight to the point they need a lot of help but want to remain independent my sister has been advised to use a white stick, both really like the fact that "those funny lights on cars are good I can see if they are moving now" make crossing roads a lot safer for them and I like to think that mine will help partially sighted people also.

Not to my taste TBH, but one of the best looking DRL kits I've seen so far ;)

Quick question though... Why are they on with the side lights on? They should be ignition switched and go off with any light switch going on ;)

Personally I would be looking to either wire the Headlamps or front fogs to switched live if they ever make retrofitting DRLs compulsory ;)

Have always driven my cars with sidelights on whatever time of day due to my mum and sisters eye problems(both nearly blind) so I decided to wire them upto my sidelights as the law stats you can run these alongside your sidelights and or replace sidelights with these

I like them. Take no notice if the grumpy admin.

I'd prefer them wired to sides as well personally, you wire them how you want. Have them on when you want.

Fair enough. I assume they switch off automatically with headlights on though? Otherwise you run the risk of having your collar felt  ;)

I have headlights on a lot of the time anyway

If you were really worried about poorly sighted people, put the main lights on. These are just too tacky for my liking.

I think they look quite good. My own preference would be to have them positioned on top of the fog lights but i guess thats not possible.
