And I know there are places where DRL is not standar, so it will only affect people without it when going for led aftermarked. Had something todo with the electrical mombojumbo of the car...



Your car is with DRL?
Yeah, mine (UK Spec) comes with DRL

It doesn't look exactly as pictured, it's shaped like a "C" rather than being a completely closed circle like in the photo.


They also have the cupholder surrounds, but you need to make sure that you cupholders match those in the photo:

I think the extra trim will dress up the interior quite a bit, but why in the world is it 100 bucks a pop? Is that shipped? Did they not correct for the currency values?

Obviously nobody here sets the prices, I am just wondering why they charge so damn much.

Over-priced trims. Even other items being sold in that website.

Shipping for the speedometer surround is another $9 to Canada...seems reasonable, but it ships in a bubble envelope; not sure about the cupholder surround.

They look good, but it looks like they don't glow/shine brighter when the brake pedal is depressed, or is that just the photo?
