Isn't it too fiddly to fit @Rick-sta?
If offered with an how-to I am in!

I've offered fog light halo ring DRL upgrades for the last few years.







You could just rewire the fog lights to work as daytime running lights, but that does mean you won't have front fog lights anymore. Problem with just rewiring the front fog lights to work as DRLs is everyone just thinks you're driving around with your fog lights on constantly. The conversion I do gives you halo ring LED DRLs in the fog lights, whilst still having actual functional LED fog lights.

They are more than bright enough for DRLs, just as bright as the angel eyes I use and just as bright as factory DRLs on new cars.

The kit is pretty simple to fit. Requires a small bit of wiring. Ideally you need to remove the front bumper to fit the kit on a 75/ZT. Comes with wiring instructions.
