Default Nice DRLs for a 75

This is my second set, first set lasted 6 years so I can recommend them, they are RING LYRAS, they connect across the battery with another optional wire which goes to the pos side of one of the sidelights to make them dim to half brightness when you put your lights on, they sense the voltage increase when the alternator starts spinning, ie when you start the car and turn off automatically when you turn the engine off just like modern factory fitted lights, I have had them on a MK1 and a MK2 and they look great on both, the MK2 has 2 perfect sized recesses which I cut out and they push in a tight fit, they are £60.00 though but I think they are worth it, tried Ebay cheapos and they didnt have the inbuilt circuitry and they weren't as well made, here they are from Halfords

the front end looks so much better with the fog lights fitted and not the black blanking plates which I had and the DRL's set it off nicely

These indeed look good on an MK2. Would like to see how they look on a ZT MK2. So maybe Keith can share some photo's after he has fitted them? If he is fiitng them to his ZT that is
