Have you guys not seen some of the large trucks getting about with them all over the front like a christmas tree?

There are bigger issues with our roads and the cars on them than some DRL's/LED's whatever.
If you say so champ.

Just saying, if they are incorrectly fitted then they aren't legal, and could potentially dazel or cause an accident. The biggest issue is if they are too close together they can make the vehicle look further away then it really is, in poor lighting.

I have them fitted in the OEM foglight position on my GT, and they comply with the law. I have had countless people ask me about where I got them, as they look factory.
