DIY: Different set-up for DRLs
Here's a DIY if you want that sexy Lexus DRL look but not really a DRL..(saywatt?)
I am not responsible for what may occur to your vehicle, at your own risk.
Step 1: Disconnect the battery if your afraid to get shock or burn a fuse.
Step 2: Remove front bumper
-A. There are 2 bolt on screws & 2 plastic tabs on both sides of the bumper (Use A 10mm Socket & Flathead Screw Driver)
-B. Pop open your hood & there you'll see 6 platic tabs holding that air/dust/heat shiz thingy (Use Flathead Screw Driver)
-C. There are 5 plastic tabs holding the bumper to the chassis (Use Flathead Screw Driver)
-D. After you've finish A-C go to the side of the bumper & pull gently but with a little force muscle after that your front bumper will fall but hang onto the bolt on screws below the bumper if your the type of guy that's half lazy like I am then proceed to Step 3, if not then continue.
-E. There are I believe 6 bolt on screws on the bottom of the bumper (Use 10mm Socket)
Step 3: After you've finish Steps A-D, wipe down the bottom of the headlights so when you stick the strips on it wont come off later.
Step 4: If Strip is too long there is an outline where you can cut off, its 3 LEDs each so cut until your satisfied with the length you want.
Step 5: Once the Strip is on & sticked securely/perfectly, unplug your parking lights, unhook the clip that's holding it, there will be a green & a white/black wire. (Green=Power / White&Black=Ground)
Step 6: This is where it'll get a bit risky, you get either a scissor or splicing tool to remove a small bit part of the outer wire exposing the thread, thus tapping the power & ground & secure it tight with electrical tape.

**Repeat same steps from 3-6**
Step 7: After everything is done correctly/securely/perfectly reverse the steps, put on the front bumper, connect the battery, close the hood, turn on your parking lights, stand back/sitdown, take pics, post it up & your welcome.

If anything lmk, pics will be up sooner or later, peace!

Actually they both accomplished the same thing two different ways. ERROL just spliced his parking lights to power the led strip. Druidiron looks to be a little safer but more time consuming adds a fuse, a switch, and draws power from the fuse box to power the leds.
