[MONSTERMATT]

which size fits in the drl lights . i am sure there needs to be some cutting but i was wondring what size will fit best if i have to "massage" it, i think it is 540 piaa or 510, i would like to see some pice of A piaa swap, im not refering to the bulb onLy replacement but the whole housing THANKS

Depends on how much of the DRL light bucket you want to trim out. Do you have a Dremel?

This is a list of PIAAs that will fit if the plastic valence is modified(trimmed):

The 510 will fit right in (no trimming required) it is a tad smaller than the original drl so a small gap is there. The grills will fill in the gap perfectly but it blocks the light output a lot so I never put them on. Speaking of light output, I had the ion (fog) ones so they are not all that bright. I would imagine the clears (driving) ones will be brighter.

Wilfred, how did you mount the 510's so they don't wiggle out of the hole?

[wilfred]

They are only mounted on the plastic valance, not the metal bumper. All I had to do was to flip the piaa mounting bolt facing the back and drill a hole or enlarge an existing hole, can't remember exactly as it has been a few years. Only on very bumpy roads like offroading at night, you will notice them bouncing a little bit. But absolutely no problems on streets or highways. Like I said, it's been on for couple years and never had I need to adjust them or anything, they are on tight so no wiggle.

I also mounteed the 510's, but the driving lights. I minimized the bouncing with washers on both sides of the mounting holes.

nothing better than e-bay for a 150.00 or less. Some stores out here have them for 250.00 on up.

PIAA 600 is nice but expensive.

Can I get a pic of the 510 with the grills in? THANKS
