Thanks bhvm for two things. First your visit, follow up with my thread & for your heartfelt appreciation.
I had gone through your fantastic DIYs, really, even before ! It needs a lot of understanding about this emerging technology and you discuss & clarify in-depth.
I wonder, why other than Chinese no other coming out to do more research over this promising technology?
Your home made head light DRLs are quite interesting. It needs patient and perfection. Now a days I see many such special bulb strip in aliexpress and they have dual function as in high end cars. White Day light and amber indicators as well.
It is my feeling that while choosing such LEDs , we should go with the one which is not two flashy and an eye irritant. I am not keen in doing these for my head lights but I am going for something unique with these LEDs and soon you will read some postings of mine.
Thanks again. I will keep visiting your thread/postings.

1) About the LED research, I feel Sweden is at the top and not china (if you're looking for quality and innovation). The Optodrive guys at sweden sent me their Prototype samples. And Boy! Were they some lights!
They're developing LEDs which offer 97% CRI. If sunlight is 100% Quality, These new leds are 97% as good!. The "Normal" CFL and LED that we use are rated at 60~70% MAX. The LEDs i was sent also had a Healthy Ra9 Rating. Which makes them awesome for Medical, Scientific and Photography use (or where color quality is important)
2) Just today i got an Idea about DRL. I feel that the DRL should shine brightly when sun is up, But gradually dim off as the evening falls. The benefit here is, offering only the required amount of light without Blinding others. We could take some inspiration from Mobile phones, where the screen brightness is automatically changed as per ambient light. I bet such a circuit could be used for the DRL as well.
3) Just made some LED footwell/Longue lights for my Blue boy. Pics coming up in my resp thread.
