    Just got a 2014 C4 last week. Thanks to this forum, I started my first DIY project over the weekend:

    1. Replaced interior lights with LEDs.
    2. Replaced low beams with 5000K HID. I had LEDs but the output was not bright enough.
    3. Replaced parking lights with LEDs.
    3. Installed a DEI 545T Auto headlight switch. The thread on this looked intimidating but it was actually an easy install. Took me a longer time figuring out removing the panes than wiring the module. Threads here on install was very helpful. I used one relay instead of 2 and all worked perfectly.
    4. Next weekend, I'll replace the high beams with LEDs with a load resistor so I can keep the DRLs and replace license plate lights with LEDs.

    Pics to follow.

    Hoping to find a good thread on an alarm install to keep my smartkey feature.

    I have tried the above led bulbs for hi-beam and it doesn't require any load resister for DRL to still work along with bright hi-beam. My Odyssey has the 2-sided bulb type that still works but seems to make the DRL pop up on dash...or maybe I've never noticed that when DRL is running the DRL does pop up on dash. The LED bulbs have a nice daylight white temperature to them and I've been followed by my SO by the C's all sided LED DRL and it was pretty dam bright as DRL.

    Before that I had hyper yellow halogen bulbs, that was nice as DRL, but sucked as hi-beam
