Re:
They look great, bummer that you have to drill a lot of holes to get that look.

Re: DRLs (Daytime Running Lights)
Can anyone recommend me a relay to use for switching DRLs off when headlights are on?
Would something like this be suitable?

Re: DRLs (Daytime Running Lights)
Ok, I got one of those relays on ebay, thanks Barney.
It says to hook the relay up to the battery so the DRLs automatically come on with the ignition. I couldn't see how that would work, but I tried it anyway. As predicted, the DRLs just stay on constantly, regardless of ignition state.
So, next question: whereabouts in the engine bay can I hook it up to ignition power?

Re:
Splice into the air sensor wiring and get the positive from the pink wire of the sensor and use the chassis point as the negative. That way the DRLs will come-on with the ignition and will remain lit for about 2-3 seconds after turning the ignition off.

Re: DRLs (Daytime Running Lights)
Thanks Jalal. I'm not entirely sure where those are, but I'll try and find them!

Re:
Here you go Drew:
The Air Sensor position, it's the one right in front of you when you open the bonnet. The one with grey wiring harness as seen in this photo (pink wire is what you need for the positive):
And the two negative terminals at the chassis point near each headlight:
