Ultra-compact LED lighting gives your vehicle a distinctive appearance.

Philips LED DayLight 8 enhances daytime driving for high visibility and maximum safety that delivers a 100% wider beam than the average DRL on the road. Cars equipped with LED DayLight 8 can be seen much more easily by pedestrians and other motorists. DRLs have been proven to contribute to a significant reduction in accident rates. Fully compliant with existing DOT and SAE regulations, the lights turn on automatically at the start of the engine and reduce by 50% when parking lights are on.
A 100% wider beam than the average DRL on the road
Premium Design
LED Daylights deliver the look of today’s high-end, high performance vehicles. The LED DayLight 8 has a premium ultra-slim design, which gives the lighting a highly distinctive appearance, setting your vehicle apart from the crowd.
Easy Installation
The compact LED DayLight 8 is easy to install (approximately 2 hours). Their snap-in mounts and plug-and-play connectors ensure easy and quick installation. The LED DayLight 8 design and smart mounting kit makes it easy for non-professionals to install. Once mounted, the lights switch on automatically. Note: this product is not compatible with Electric/Hybrid vehicles.
Designed for Safety
Designed for Safety Light is the first and the only proactive element of the safety circle that helps prevent accidents. The extreme white and powerfully bright light of the LED DayLights are best perceived by pedestrians and oncoming traffic.
A study, published by the European Commission, has evaluated that daytime running lights have a yearly life-saving factor of 3 to 5 percent (or between 1,200 and 2,000 road fatalities per year).
And that’s not all–a greater number of accidents occur during daytime than is commonly believed. About 40% of the total number of accidents occur during daytime.
Daylight light solutions provide better visibility of your car because of their unusual position, and because they diffuse light in all directions compared to low beam light that projects concentrated light onto the road.

high quality, low profile
By mvelandia
This product is indeed of the highest quality. The frame is (as far as I can tell) aluminium, the lens is glass, and has the DOT mark. The light pattern from each of the eight LEDs is designed well, projecting the light forward in a narrow beam as viewed from the top, yet projecting a very tall beam as viewed from the side. The mounting brackets appear to be high strength, hardenned steel – very rugged. The electronics work perfectly, just as advertised and are encased in a steel box (looks water tight as well). As soon as the car turns on, the DRL come on. When you turn on the car’s running lights, the DRL immediately dim. When you turn off the car, the DRL waits about 20 seconds and then turns off. I’m quite sure the LED’s are pulse width controlled, meaning the control box is more complex than just a relay switch, and I’m sure this contributes to both the brighness and longevity of the DRL.
The other great attribute of this product is its slim profile. The DRL is ~17mm high ( less than 3/4″). Compared with all the other DRL I saw on the market, this seems to be the thinnest.
The lights themselves are *very* bright, easily seen in broad daylight. Phillips clims a 10000hr liftime which is way beyond the life of the car – assuming an average speed of 30mi/hr, the DRL should last 300,000 miles.
Bottom line: I’m happy with the product, it was well worth the premium over other products available in the market.

Wow, are they BRIGHT! Work great!!!
By R. Davenport
Got the kit and it has everything you really need and the instructions are very clear, with a minor exception.
Installed them on my 2010 Infiniti FX35. Had a hard time figuring out how to mount them, and then had a brain flash. I bought some 2″ aluminum solid angle stock (like National Mfg. N342360 Aluminum Solid Angle and cut piece the same length as the mounting brackets you can see in the picture of the kit. Mounted the brackets on the L facing under the top part (can’t figure out how to say that clearly, will take some pictures). Make sure you drill a hole large enough for the wire to go through in the center of the bracket. drilled pilot holes for the mounting using #14 License Plate Screws. Positioned the bracket in the air vents on either side of the license plate and put the screws in at the junction of the internal bumper and the black cushion material. It is strong enough to hold the lights, yet you don’t have to drill into body metal to do it. The 2″ hang down was perfect and the lights are both well protected and easily seen. Ran the wires along the internal bumper and up on the passenger side where there was a perfect rubber dam that punched through to go into the battery compartment. The Philips relay I mounted using existing threaded holes outside the battery compartment. All you do is hook the wires to the + and – sides of the battery and the Relay works as stated, you start the car and the lights come on. Turn the engine off and the lights time out after about 20 seconds.
Only problem is that I have a USA version of the FX35 that doesn’t have daylight running lights to begin with, so the auto dimming function doesn’t have a place to attach the sensor wire. Going to discuss it with my mechanic next time I am in as it just needs to hooked to the hot side wire for the running lights. The lights just stay on bright right now, which isn’t bad, just want to use all of the functions the Philips built in to the lights. They say in the instructions that you have to disable the auto headlights function, but that isn’t really true on USA cars.
The lights are very bright and I am really happy I got the 8-led light instead of the 4-led light for my particular car. You notice them and they look factory or expensive custom. Much easier than putting on “Angel Eyes”.

Baja Proven Safety Lights
By Kent Kroeker
I’m Kent Kroeker, the owner of KORE Inc. [...]
Team KORE races in the deserts of the Southwest US and Mexico. My truck is a Class 8 that has 800 horsepower and 30″ of wheel travel. In order to win, we use the best equipment and spare no expense.
I use Philips DRL 4s and 8s on every vehicle I own – including the race truck. These amazing LED Daytime Running Lights provide an extra margin of safety for racing and every day driving.
They work great and look cool. And they’re tough – even survived the Baja 500!
