Title: help with DRL's Install?!?!
Post by: brianorme1986 on September 15, 2013, 19:18
hi guys ive brought a set of DRL's off flea-bay (  m http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261265556688? ... 1497.l2649 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261265556688?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) m  ) after being recomended by someone as they fit perfect in the holes in the front bumper. Just wondering if someone could point my in the right direction how to wire them up, electrical diy is not my strong point unfortuantly!!! thanks

Before you get told you need a relay to fit these you don't. As I explained in my Facebook post these aren't DRL's, they're 'styling lights', not as bright as DRL's so needn't be switched off at night so all you need to do is wire the +ve on the LEDs to the +ve of the sidelight (green or green and red wire I think) and then ground the -ve side, there's a convenient grounding point on the drivers side (collection of black and white cables bolted to the chassis) and I used the radiator mount on the passenger side.
