    Just installed these this evening. Very straight forward install; appears to be a very well engineered product.

    https://www.scuding.com/Shop/en/ilual-drl-solutions/69-ilual43-headlight-drl.html

    The difference is dramatic. These things are incredibly bright! So impressive I think I need to look at their tail solutions now as well. Basically you go from barely being able to see the DRLs, to them being as prominent as on any modern led-highlighted headlight. The pictures on their site are very accurate if not conservative.

    I will report back if I encounter any issues, but I'm very pleased so far. One thing I would mention is that there is a slight yellow to the led packaging which is transmitted out through the DRL light in direct sunlight/intense light. Of course, the leds themselves are a very pure white with no yellow tint and a very good match for the headlights. They are made with great precision (the contour; the backing plate) and slide into position with minimal dexterity.

    I'm going to drive around with these things on a lot I think...they definitely look cool IMO and they certainly increase the visibility of the Scud to other drivers. The latter is important - I think people miss the car from a distance because it is so low. I've had a couple instances of people looking *right over me*, then pulling out when I'm going 25-30mph.

    Fire away with questions!

    Look great!
    How long do you think for a pro/shop to install these?

    They have a step-by-step on the site, but I was having issues linking to it directly. It's not bad at all, but I've done a lot of horrible lighting stuff in tight places, so YMMV.

    I give it a 2/10 difficulty unless you have massive hands or issues using them.

    Thanks! I'll get some pics of my car at some point.

    With a floor jack and an airgun it took me about 45mins in no hurry. Pulled one front wheel, then the other. Anywhere from 30-60mins is reasonable IMO.

    Honestly they are the same. They are so bright that they cast light. It's Pittsburgh, so you might really wait for a shot in the sun ; )

    Looks amazing. please post back if you encounter any misting or fogging/moisture of the headlights from the inside. Any fitment issues with the end plug, or does it go on tight?

    I think they look awesome! I like it!

    I have Stef's complete LED tail light and LED 3rd brake light kit on my 360 and I love them.

    Super bright and excellent build quality. Stef makes top notch parts for Ferraris.
    Highly recommended.

    No issues w fogging. I've already driven them in high humidity and rain.

    I already have the infamous scud headlight issues.

    Former is perfect. Just to slow feeding it in. You just press the end in as it is made of rubber. Seems like a nice solid connection.
