Installed LED DRL's

Lighting / Headlights written by @Rio-Grande Kia Rio 2012

In the process of converting most of everything to LED. I have already done the reverse lights and license plate / trunk. I think I found a LED H11B headlight conversion kit. Anyway, found these on Amazon. They are really bright in person and do a good job for something besides turning the headlights on all the time. I think they came out OK. Makes the halogens look really yellow.

I also use a simple DRL controller so I don't need to wire a switch. Goes right to the battery and turns off once it detects the alternator no long running. Works great.

Well, I went with HID for the headlights. For $30 shipped & a 2 year warranty just too good pass up. Went with the 6k / 35w. Also replaced the driving light with these really nice 900 lumen 1157 LED's. They are really bright. I will get some pics tonight. The whole headlight assembly actually goes in and out pretty easy once you get it down. Just (2) 10mm bolts. Helps to remove the plastic right there as well.
