Default New LED DRL's - pics

I ordered some new LED DRL's from V-LEDS [http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481], and upon inspection they are much brighter than the other LED DRL's that I had before. These are one LED chip design and not the multi-chip designs that cause non-uniform lighting in the light housing. The 1st two photos were taken in direct sunlight to the light housing, and the other in the shade. These LED DRL's are very much like the LED DRL's that are on some new Audi's, and are much brighter in person than in these photos:

Drive in the city most of the time...your low beam tilt a little bit upward, but you don't have the bright as the OEM.. coz the LED light doesn't support the high beams...

I got two sets of these from warden_jp2002's. One for me and one for the woman. I installed one set on my car and the woman didn't like them so she didn't want them anymore. NOW I'm stuck with an extra set. PM me if you are interested!!

I just put the same ones in my car and i love them! Even in direct sunlight you can see them.. and when the sun is about to go down they look soo sweet. Definatly a nice improvement to the yellow.
