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.
