Cheers and many thanks.

There are several VR's that I look up to as benchmarks where I want to have mine.

The next list of mods include:

-VolvoTech CFE

-IPD GROM usb/ipod audio adapter

-HD TCV 

-Remove centre console and respray charcoal black

-Philips HID 4 DRL kit

Just got to find time to install them all.

Then I have a few more exterior mods up my sleeve..

Philips DRL installed:

Kit:

1. Remove grills:

Test fit:

Reassembly:

Turn on when ignition is on. 

Works well 

Just did a quick road test with the DRL lights to see how they operate with normal driving.

Unlock car = active

Ignition + no lights on = active

Ignition + park lights = off

Ignition + low beam lights = off

Lock car = active for ~2 mins 

Yellow button = off

New wiper blades:

Much better than the older heavy frames.
