    Hello everyone,
    I just received a DRL light today, They fit perfectly in the grille of my 2017 SR 4X4.
    My question to everyone is. How do they look? Are they cheesy? I was also thinking about ordering the orange lights to match the factory lights.
    Be honest.

    Cheesy. Looks like a cheap set of walmart lights that should be on a 16 year Olds honda civic.

    You could always mount them in your bed for cargo lighting!

    None,
    To my surprise the DRL kit fit so well into the grille, I was thinking of ordering another set to fill the centre hole in the grille.
    These lights where going to be installed inside the cab, Since there is no floor lighting.

    Thank you to Comfort Wheels, Brooklyn, NY

    Thanks,

    They are not hard wired, or fastened to the grille

    Do they fit at the top of the grill? Might look better.

    I actually ordered them for my interior, I was going to mount them behind the fronts seats for the much needed interior lighting.

    You may be right, that would bring them closer to the headlight height.

    No.
    The top openings in the grille are smaller, I would love to do some sort of Rapter Style lights in the grille.

    Why would you want to look like one of those things? I'd say get the bar that fits at the top in amber.

    I'd keep them as is. They would look fine running alone during the day. A third would start looking low rent.

    Just a few LEDs...
    I like the placement, but I would prefer to see them the same color as either the headlights or the parking lights.

    Do whatever you like though, because after all it is your truck. ;)

    Aw hell just light up the whole grille. :D

    I've been thinking of doing something like that. Where did you get the lights? Where did you tap into a power source? Are they on a separate switch? And... how to they attach to the grill and did you have to remove the grill or any front body parts to install. Sorry for so many questions, but as I said I might like to do that also.
