LOL
Just buy some crappy bulbs from ebay. Paint the bulbs with some nighthawk tail-light tint and it shud give the same effect. Why the hell wud u want lights on during the daytime anyways??? If my car came with them, they would be coming off pretty fast.

Re: diy D.T.R. lights
There are DRL kits on eBay...or you can google it and find a DIY on how to make your own. I've seen a DIY for it...involves some basic electrical components and some wiring. Shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm planning on doing this as well as soon as I get my new retros done.

I plan on doing the same thing with my retro... bi-xenon in the low beam bowl and turn the high beam into a yellow DRL. MikeyMike was the inspiration.
Tinting the bulb is actually a really good idea, except putting anything on the glass is begging to kill the bulb life, not to mention it could be hazardous.
I drive with my lights on during the day, so minimizing igniting my HIDs is always preferred.

It makes sense, but it's possible for this to be a state tax write off. The newer cars have them because DOT thinks its safer. If any of u were gonna do it, i would look into that.

It would be really easy to just buy and HID harness and connect the harness to the ignition. Basically, just get a bulb harness, connect it to a relay, draw poer from the batt, and use the ignition signal to close the relay circuit.
