They look ok to me but myself I'd put them with the other lights under your headlights.

Very nice, where did you get them ?. Only 1 light in each corner is enough though. John L.

Wouldnt mind a few of those along my bullbar.

I've often wondered if they were worth buyin as I would like some DRLs, How did you wire them up? With sidelights of ignition?
