Default OEM style LED DRLs for FL D3?

Maybe I like an acronym too much, maybe I don't

Anyway, I did a little search and couldn't find anything. Has anyone successfully implanted some LED DRLs in place of the old bulbs?

I'd quite like some if they looked OEM/OEM+


Cheers. John

Default Wrong section

Noticed you posted this in the D2 side, so you may have more luck by posting in the appropriate D3 section or perhaps ask the forum admins to move it over?

Cheers.

I've recently updated the DRLs on my D3 with 80W Cree bulbs as per Snapdragon on here, very pleased with the results, they look very much like the W12 style full LED DRLs

The ebay item number for the ones I used is 350942095449 But I think he's reissued the listing since then. The rest was just adjusting coding on the lights
No warning lights to date and they look great on both full power and even slightly dimmed when headlights are on.
