Recently there was a law change in Bulgaria. Now we need to drive with low beams always on throughout the whole year :( Projectors HID light is almost invisible in daylight but the police doesn't care.

 

The problem with this law is that HID bulbs quickly get dimm. Expect a lot of brightness decrease after about 600 hours. (I can post a picture of the difference if anyone is interested) And OEM bulbs cost around 60 pounds. (And I plan to upgrade to CBIs which cost 80+ pounds) I don't want to pay this price every two years.

 

My only choice now is DRLs which I hate. Most of them look really cheap and spoil the look of the car. But I bought Philips Daylight 8. They are the most stealth looking drl I've found. I bought them at a bargain price with the idea to sell them if I don't like them.

 

So they arrived today and I test fitted them in two locations. Now I need your advice, should I keep them and what position is better ?

If i had to choose one i'd pick the first .. 

 

But have a look around the forum, perhaps there could be something worked into your actual headlight rather than having to put it into/onto the bumper ..

Thanks for the feedback. Grant, believe me I have looked up every possible solution for drls. Like:

 

White LED bulbs in the foglights - This is the perfect DRL buuut illegal


Projectors white devil eyes - I have to make the retrofit again, drill the projectors and fit leds inside them which won't last long because of the heat inside the projector

led strip in headlights - Again illegal, no place for it in my setup and probably won't look good

 

If you have any other ideas please let me know.
