Just got my DLR kit installed

[arabski]

First I got my set backordered due to some shipping drama Then when the discounted set finally arrived, outside temperatures were way beyond 110F (45C) to fit it...

So I waited for better weather and this morning I finally did it! It took me exactly 2 hours to finish...

 

The result is just hmm... great

 

 

 

I didnt connect the dimmer though. I'll check how badass it looks at night.

 

BTW. am I the only one who noticed this?

 

(RH / LH mixup between OEM and replacement items)

The LH and RH markings have been discussed before.

I know I'm late to the party on this, but glad to hear you like your DRLs. They look great on your blue SPORT. My tooling company fixed the RH / LH labeling on the housings. I'm just glad that each individual DRL can only fit into its mating opening.

no more than 8 months later my DLR looked like sh!t due to middle eastern weather conditions... basically these lights were the only part of the front of my car that didnt get plastic-wrapped - so two sandstorms and 30k miles later they were totally sandblasted...

 

so my I removed 'em and dropped by nearby ziebart workshop to see if these guys can do anything about it. And the result (although expensive) is here:

 

 

polished, protected and ready to install (again). This time wrapped in 1mm thick plastic to ensure they last more than one sandstorm

They look brand spanking new! Good call!

How often so you have to replace the plastic wrap on your car? I've never heard of this but it makes sense.

I haven't done it yet... but my Edgy is not even 2 years old... I believe it should last till end of the summer before I replace it (or at least the lamp film because they are getting darker and darker every day...)

 

pic from today right after cleaning - note how "blurry" the film is.

 

DLRs do look brand new now

 

 

BTW. today first time this year the temp reached 35 deg C (95F) - it's going to be a hot summer...
