I have the same set ready to go into mine  :smiley: Just need to figure out how to wire the DRL strip to actually work as DRLs instead of glorified sidelights. Hurdy and Komenda have them too!

When you fit them solder all the LED cables together, then isolate the side light cable from the light terminal, strip a little section of wire cut it and fit it all together with a crimp connector, job done in 10 mins a side tops.

et voila LED DRL's

Just wondering would this only turn them on when the sidelights come on or would they be on whenever the engine is running?

Is that how they are supposed to work? Like on Audis and such? I thought the DRLs were meant to be on whenever the engine was running.

They are but it's a bit more work messing with the switch, and we didn't have the required skills.

I haven't had a problem with light so far-in fact i would say there's probably more light on the road now than with the standard lights.
Looking for some rear clusters to match now - ideas?
