DRL's and DDE's
 
I have a canadian max equipped with DRL's and was wondering if anyone has pics of their max with both DRL's and DDE's. I am thinkin it wouldn't have the same effect as if the lights were completely dark. Any suggestions as to what you've done to make it work/look the best? Thanks

Yes. Reduce your obnoxsiously large signature. That'll look much better.

My 2000 is a Canadian model and I removed the DRL function by taking the fuse out. Why don't you do that and have the DDEs on a separate switch?

I think its certainly do able, I'm sure you want to keep your DRL, but the question is are you planning on running the DDE's during the day time? or at dusk/dawn? Either way..>I think they will look fine as I believe its the high beam that is used for DRL...so your other lense (low beam) will be out and it should look ok....why not be a pioneer....chump...I mean champ...lol :D

on lexus IS300's it's just a plug that you disconnect for their DRL's near the left strut nuts.
