Makes the front end of the Avalon look like one of those tiger's teeth painting on those P-51 Mustangs from WW II. Shortly after I purchased my Avalon, I removed the highbeams (halogen) and went to HIDs (7000K). I'm glad I have the option of turning off the DRLs.....I blew one of the ballasts because the voltage used for the DRL made the HIDs flickers, so I make sure they stay off.
Don't mean to hate but I think you're killing a reasonably classy car man. That switch on the interior is simply cheap looking and kills the interior. To keep it more OEM and not noticeable I would have probably wired the led strips to the parking lights or something. Also the 6k bulbs in the headlights strain your eyes and put out less lumens than OEM 4300k temp bulbs. While it may look 'cool' I honestly find it to be kinda ricey. However!! To each their own and keep doing what you like, just my opinion.
The Switch is Smaller than a penny....I'm the driver...so thats MY switch...not for people lookin in....I'm 23 My Eyes Ain't Strained....guess my shit should look like yours huh?? U from Southside...I Def seen that plate b4

HATERRRRRRRRR!..Anyways IF he wires it to the DRL they will always be on with no control to turn on or off,Kinda like those cheesy light bars on your lil maxima.

Lawl I'm not hating guys I like what you've done to make your Avalon's your own. I was providing my opinion in the form of constructive criticism. My point was an oem style switch would have integrated much better into that location over the generic led rocker switch.
And hghflyrjd1 thanks for noticing the cheesy led bars on my maxima those came off with the quickness after I put them on. It's an old picture while I was in the middle of a fog light projector retro.
