How would you wire these in? I would be interested if I can get them inside the light cluster to work as a sidelight.

A kind thought, Martin, but these are just stick-on and are DRL-style and not the real thing. They won't be legal DRL's in 2010(?).

You can get strip LED DRL headlights for the Mk5 - Hurdy has some - But not for Xenon.

The top of the range Alfa's are now getting Hella LED DRL's the same as mine : -

Your car is so well done Red. You clearly have a good eye for design.

That's a very nice thing to say, davefish - A big compliment - Thanks! :smiley:

If you are the same 'davefish' who has a modded DBP Mk5 R32, then I could say the same about you!

I'm retired now but I used to run my own design consultancy based in Chelsea and with international clients, some bluechip, so my 'design eye' is hardwired.

Same guy. Mine needs lowering, lightly tinted windows and I plan to change the rear badge and spoiler, then it will be complete cosmetically speaking.

I'm not surprised your career has been in design, you can tell you know what will work and what won't.

I plan to set up my own business in the not too distant future. Would love to pick your brains at a future meet (maybe Weston or Inters).

Cheers
Dave

Ah! V6 FFS!!

I'd be more than happy to share whatever knowledge I can contribute to your efforts.

Inters best - BIALI Motorsport stand for both days. Dan will have his glorious Mk4 R32 alongside mine on the stand.
