Hmm, look good, any links to the ones you bought..?

How are they fixed in place..?

Sorry I don't have any links they are just pushed in between the light and the bumper it's a nice tight fit

I like them, found some on eBay, also do you have the DRL auto switch, which turns them on, and off when the lights are on..?

You can make a DRL "auto switch" by splicing a few wires using a relay.

Sounds easy, but is it easy in practice for a electro-noob..?

Well your going to need to splice some wires to fit the DRL's, so...

If you hook up the headlight feed, going into a relay, and connect this to the control point, and then connect the 12v ignition live to the 12v input of the relay, and then connect the DRL's live to the normally closed output of the relay.

Finding the ignition live will be the hard bit.

Very nice, the 1.8 is a revvy wagon but the VVC manifold must improve it a good bit. Is there a noticeable difference?
