Default LED Daytime running lights

Interested to know if anyone has fitted these - how do they look and what was fitting like. See link below.

Well I don't know how good they are but apparently they will light up your pre bedtime snack with their "Supper brightness"

I tend to agree - are they just connected to the battery via a switch ? If so i wonder where the wires run.

They are connected via a relay to a switched live, mine was to the alternator wire in the fusebox, then an earth, & a dimmer to the sidelights as they are supposed to dim, or go out, when normal lights are switched on.
