Hi Ronnie

I think I might have missed that & don't want to stir 'Hornets Nest'

Perhaps a PM

Cheers

suzublu - sorry if I was part of the problem last time - are those dipped lights LED - I thought it was just your main beams? Whichever they do look impressive.

Thanks Ronnie,

I Likeee.

I have just ordered a set of OEM Xenon Headlights complete (Xenon Technology marked on inside)


They will also have 'Halos' fitted, so that should negate the DRL idea (Not Sure ? )

All I will have to do is match the bulbs to my liking. Of course it's a 'Bumper Off' jobbie, but a couple of 'Members' are doing it for me, set up, etc.

I will then recondition my 'OEM Xenon's, and sell on to balance costs.

Thanks for your help and advice

Cheers

With that logic, we should never wash our cars either. Or care about what colour they are!

Further to 'DRL's uncertainty, would I be able to connect the 'Halos' up in such a was as to act as 'DRL's themselves.

At present I understand they will work together with 'Sidelights'.

yes they can be wired in this way so they are ignition activated

Klarzy has the option to run as DRLs or sides

I went for the latter and then turn them on manually ; gives me something to do!!

if they are wires as sidelights they are not required to dim when you put your dipped on, if you have them as traditional DRL's then you need to add a switching relay and a resister to each side.

Thanks Klarzy

I think they would look good as 'DRL's'

That's great Klarzy.

Just one request. Can you mark the flying leads (what goes where )

Cheers
