Those look good. They have more of a green to them then mine do, after a few night miles they break in though.

I've seen posted here that in order to "trick" the DRL's, you pop off the top dashboard to gain acces to the sensor to cover it with tape. Is it easy to re-install the top cover once it's been popped off? I've never messed with these interior bits before and I'm kinda nervous about popping stuff off.
