Default Re: Day Time Running Lights

LOL people hating them. They are very effective for obviously long trips etc.

I installed some in my AU on the bumper inserts under the number plate, and also replaced my parker bulbs with white LED's to match.

Its wired so that they only work with the parkers, when I switch to normal driving lights they turn off, also when I have the highbeams on (naturally).

I also like the idea of using these instead of normal driving lights when on longer trips because during the day your driving lights do nothing other than waste the bulb, they also are far more noticeable.

I wanted to use the Phillips range but they looked to bulky on my car, so I made a little custom setup which is pretty basic but does the trick.

Im not an aggressive driver but I have noticed people in the right lane move over quicker, and in VIC this is an issue as most of the time the left lane is quicker!
