Epic vrs DRL conversion idea.

Trawling ebay looking at stuff I cant afford to kill some time and came across these.

I think they'd look brilliant in place of the DRL's on the vrs!

They look like this on a motorbike, but Im sure a bit of soldering would make these look amazing.

Infact, Super fast photoshop?

I've had an idea of angel eye'ing the chrome eye in the lights as well and linking it to the DRL's so they dim at night etc.

Hmm wonder how they would look inside the headlight. Only problem I got with angel eyes is that to me they are BMW trademark.

Would look good but I have a feeling that it is illegal to have coloured lights on the front of the car, unless of course they are an emergency vehicle.

[apmaman]

Yeah it would be for show use only. The green inside lights can be wired to switch on and off though

They look good in the fogs, I'd not put them in the main lights as it's a bit chav-like when not on a BMW.

[Silv1983]

The green colour would not be illegal as long as it doesn't flash - and as long as it isn't the dipped beam or sidelight. Red is illegal at the front whatever and would have to be for show use anyway.

[atomic]

Yep, legal suprisingly enough!
