    Dad got fogs from princess auto and uses them. I think ones getting condensation in it now, he ordered OEM fogs off a site (decent price, I'll try to find the site) and he's going to do a legit setup. They're run off a little DRL box atm.

    The plastic covering inside my headlight over my DRL/signal has started to melt :( fucker.

    $70? I only paid like 200-250 for my retro. That's not much different considering how much longer they last.


    My American truck doesn't have drls, I just leave the park lights on

    Nope! not much difference at all, I had a headlight out though, needed something now lol. When these burn out I'll probably look into a retrofit kit. Probably be summer then and I'll be more willing to bake and paint.

    Plus dad won't let me use his stove to bake my headlights...

    Technically your truck shouldn't pass safety without DRL's.

    Nope, lights aren't checked! Haha the mvi rules are retarded. I don't imagine any of the techs actually check for DRL's. Some day, somewhere there will be that dick lol.

    This is the website with fogs and headlights. 60 bucks for two fog lights isn't bad! You'd need to get the switch and make sure you're wired for it. They've got whole headlight assemblies for 71 bucks too! AND THEY'RE CANADIAN go figure eh.

    The lens over my DRL's is starting to melt too so when I take them apart I want to get rid of that since the bulb is amber anyway

    I was already in 2 or so months ago and asked about it. They said there wasn't anything they could do.

    How recent is this? Maybe I'll stop by again. I'd still want to do a retrofit, it would be awful to do that to brand new headlights lol

    Retrofit it 100% reversible. I would do it on new lights without a worry. I took my retro fit of my ninja when I traded it and reinstalled them into my new bike and you couldn't tell
