Day time running lights
Hi, I have been toying with the idea of fitting DRL's to my 03, pre facelift DCTI , And I was thinking, rather than fitting them into my fogs, why not, remove the chrome side strips either side, and fit lights into that either by making up a fibreglass mounding ,mounting a strip of lights into that, or by if using separate small lights, possibly drilling into the chrome strip anyone got any ideas ? I would imagine it would be easy enough to make a wooden former, to match the chrome finishing strip with a flat section to take a block of lights or to using plaster of Paris, to use a chrome strip to make a mould and then to make a moulding, which could always be sprayed to match body colour, Whats your thoughts ?

If you put DRL's in the "enhanced by google" search bar at the top of the page, you'll find loads of ideas

Rick-sta does a kit that converts indicators to DRL's that revert back to idicators when needed. Looks good I'm going to go for a set in a month or so. See here:

Personal opinion here but drls are unneccesary, just put your side marker lights on or dipped headlights if you want to make your presence on the road more obvious.

After donkeys years of driving on in Europe for a living, I still automatically put on my headlights everytime I get in the car. Just a habit now. |
