Snerlo's R36 DRL Mk2 Installation

[Jakeys]

I installed a set for someone the other day and the build quality on them I think has been improved.
Mine have been fine since the initial leaking issue a few years back but it looks like they have taken some feedback onboard.

How so? With mine they have not leaked but the lights do not look perfect. The orange indicator LED's are a bit dimmer than I'd like although fine, and are in a straight line not following the contour of the bar like the actual DRL LED's too. The DRL LED's on each edge are also not quite as sharp cut out as I'd like. But I'm nitpicking, nobody but me has ever noticed.

The control box looked higher quality and had Osram on it (means nothing I know).
The lights didn't have any burrs or anything on them
I really should have taken some photos of them and mine.
I will next time I see them.

One of mine cracked for no reason, on the housing. A lot of water got in...
After drying I used some silicon to seal the crack and it's has been good since.
If he can make it with big LEDs, it will look better, just saying, still very happen with them!

[kamold]

Yeah I'm very happen with them too.
By big LEDs do you mean so it gives less of a 'pixel' look?
I think it suits as it matches the technology of the time.

Yes, wishful thinking, he probably wont change his formula.

I bought the DRL's off AliExpress, can't recall the price. It's probably been 2.5 years and they've certainly deteriorated in condition. No leaking or condensation etc however the plastic has yellowed and lessened the effect of the indicators. Does anyone have any feedback on the newer ones? I want to replace them with the dimming ones but won't if someone has come across quality issues.

So after fiddling for a few days doing some tidying up, I've found some cracks in the lens of one of the DRLs and they've turned so damn yellow.. They look ridiculous next to the factory fill in piece. Anyway, time to replace. Anyone used these and want to provide some feedback?

Those look really good. I like that the lights are individual instead of a long strip. Looks more OEM. But those are for a CC. Will they fit an R36?

The attachment screw on these looks to be 90 degrees to the R36 ones I've installed. I would ask the seller.

Yes definitely suited to the CC. I believe they are also a different shape to suit the different front bar.
