i think you should leave it stock. daytime running lights are supposed to be in the headlights. there's enough bad drivers on the road today, no need to confuse them any more

pointless. but its your car, whatever floats your boat.

it wont make a difference in safety or ppl noticing you. no one else will care.

that being said, might as well join the trend and put LED's inside and make your 20+ year old car look like a modern luxury brand...

That's your opinion, mine is that they look stupid. I'd probably laugh at someone with their blinkers on all the time. It would look like something is broken.

agreed. now wiring the bumper lights to only be on when the lights are on and then blink brighter when the turn signal is applied i think looks pretty slick. i did it to my hatch like 2 years ago

D16si hatch that's what I'm doing I got integra brake light sockets yesterday the 3 wire and I have them hooked up just to my corners but it's not bright at all so I'm using the dual fillimint bulbs low for on bright for blink along with a relay to my corner lights so they turn on when my corners are on
