DRL and DRL LED Strips

I currently have DRL LED strips installed on my 2014 ES but I also like the new DRL that are on the 2015 outlander sport. I decided to purchase a pair. I got them off Amazon and they shipped from China. I ordered them on August 4th and the tracking shows they left USPS facility in my town (Irvine, CA) this morning so they should be here sometime today. Once I get them installed I will post some pictures.

What do you guys think of the DRL on the 2015 OS?

I personally love those, I've had my ye on them for a few months now but I honestly have no clue how to wire anything... plus I sort of need to get the fog lights before I draw your eye to the spot they should be, haha xD

Can't wait to see them on & how easy/hard they are to wire in

^ I I have a 2012 ES, would love to have something down there. Thinking of getting some 70mm offroad lights and wire them in down there. If I did that these would probably look pretty good.

It's 230 right now, my mail usually gets here around 330-4. The wiring shouldn't be to bad. It comes with the same automatic DRL switch I use with my LED strips right. The hardest part will be trying to figure out how to get the wire to the battery.

Just received the package. Instructions are not very good. I will take some pictures while I install. Should be the same as how my current LED strips are installed.

Alright!
Very cool.

However, I did notice a discrepancy...
Said received items >


VS.

What they offered for sale (Originally) >


Notice the "curvature" of the LED going completely down the arch (from Top to Bottom) in a very smooth way...

From the photo for the received items, they look to be "chopped" and it's missing the chrome surrounds for the fog lights. Or, did you just haven't put them on yet?

So when testing them out before installing them, the passenger side, only a few LEDs light up. Going to have to contact the seller about getting it replaces. I installed them fully and will put some pictures up when I am done cleaning up.

Here are some pics during the install. Kind of bummed that one of them wasn't working properly, I contacted the seller so hopefully they will send me another one. Shipping wasn't bad from China. 9 days from when I placed the order until they were delivered.

So while waiting for my replacement to arrive, I decided to try something else. Tell me what you think.
