That strip is no longer available on the vled website. You might try emailing them to figur out why or perhaps if they will be available in the future.

I was considering the Philips DayLight 4, but after some thought, the idea of automatic DRLs did not really sit too well with me. I think they do work and are fine as OEM quality lights, but again, not exactly what I am looking for.

Just my thoughts:
Pro:
fit is perfect for the brake ducts area
mounting system is near permanent (if you chose to use the clips)
OEM quality, so no flicker and strange operation just after the warranty expires,
super bright (if I remember correctly)

Con:
viewing angles were a bit too narrow,
idea of the automatic control box did not sit too well with me I prefer some sort of switch or a way to tap into an existing system as a switch,
the plug is just a 1 or 2 milimeters too big to fit through the brake duct grill. You could force it and it would be barely noticeable unless you knew it was there.
out of my price range, but for the quality and reliability, that is probably well worth it.

over all, it is completely up to you.

Retrofit Source has one, I am considered buying. But I want to put inside headlights to replace factory DRL. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/led...ing-light.html
