What's the law on these? Can I remove my front sidelights and run these instead? Or do I have to my front side lights as well if I choose to run them? Basically kicking around a couple of ideas, and want to know what's what.

Keep kicking, and aim for the bin.

DRL's on a Nova. ****ing serious? :/

As far as the letter of the law goes, I believe that you need an older type Audi A4 or Renault Scenic, about £50 and a hole in the head.

Yes. I am ****ing serious. I do whatever I want to my nova, it's done to make me happy not you. Now unless you can help, kindly sod off.

you are wrong. any modification should be to make your Nova happy, not you. such a selfish man.

Thats like spray painting your pet dog just because you prefer a change of colour.

I'm sure it will look great, and modernise your vehicle in the best possible way.

"Check out that Nova! Is it a 13 plate? It looks so modern!"

"It must be new, it has DRL's. Maybe they still make them in Mexico?"

Afaik, you have to have sidelights as a separate unit, and the DRL's must run separately from the side/rear lights as theyre front only things arent they!

I can't say that daytime running lights are my kind of thing but fair play for doing what you want regardless of what others think, it's far easier and safer just to do what is generally accepted (XE, Speedlines etc...).

I've been in this guys situation more than a few times, ok the majority like the stuff but I still get slated for it.
Old example (2001): Narrow band white LED's in the side skirts:
