Hi,
I was a member of the HCC for a number of years. I've now made the switch to pick your brains with my issues.
Red 2005 Gen 3.5 owned for 7 years!
Few mods:
Gun metal alloys
Red Callipers
Plasti dip black roof.
Led grille and footwells (on courtesy switch)
DRLs (Cob LEDs)
HIDs

Send a pic of the coupe! I was thinking gun metal alloys for my red coupe. Wanna see if it looks right

Hi guys,
Thanks for the very very very warm welcome.
I snapped a quick pic over the weekend as I change mods that often it tends to look different on a monthly basis.

Thanks! I have another set of DRLs mounted in the grille that are triggered with the fob (courtesy circuit)
Vid of it triggering:

They're really shoddy ones from China. I'm fairly sure they're all made by the same supplier as I've had 3 sets (1 broke and bought another for a motorbike). Supplier isn't on ebay anymore but I managed to find similar 'COB DRLs'.
They look like the picture below.
Wiring: that's the question. I tried to wire to the ignition, have them triggered by the courtesy switch. I really wanted them to trigger when I opened the car and then be on all the time when driving. Didn't work...
In the end I lost patience and wired it to the sidelights. Simple Scotch connection I sealed up with heat shrink tape and rubber wire covers. Still does the job!
That's why I added my old DRLS behind the grille to light up on the courtesy switch on the fob.
