Talking My 2 Projects. Plugging License Plate Holes and LED DRL Lights.



My 2 recents projects in 1 pic

1. Project 1. Tired of the front plate bracket. Removed to find 5 horrific holes.
Took plastic GM body fasteners made by Hillman
4 coats of OEM paint and 4 coats of clear coat and then plugged them into the offending holes. Satisfied with result.

2. Project 2. Installed Philips LED Daytime 4 Running Lights

Pleased with all results!!!

Excellent choice on running lights, fits the front end very well. The holes cleaned up very nicely, well done!

Absolutely will take some when the sun drops to get a better appreciation of them.

Default Great Job

Very nice work!

Just a small suggestion, did you consider mounting the DRLs in the side vents?

I've changed 4 pairs of Philips LED's on my dad's BMW X3.
BMW sells them as accessories. So... beware.
I've put Hella leds on my Range Rover and XKR 2010. Looks good and no problem in 2 years on 2 cars.

Where did you connect the power? Do you have a switch inside somewhere - where/how did you mount the switch in the cabin?

TIA
