So I've decided to make my own DRL for my zed. The plan is to buy a set of DRL of Ebay, remove the LEDs, buy a clear side reflectors, transplant the LEDs into the clear reflectors, then buy a set of controller and finally test and install them on my zed.
Here's the DRL donor comes from --> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251407865878?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Here's me removing the casing, its really well secured with silicon so I decided to cut them out. Took about 20mins to remove the first one as I've been really careful not to damage anything as I haven't seen what's inside it. 2nd unit took about 5 mins as I've seen what's inside and can chop them confidently.

When the PCB board being removed from the casing and I've also trim down the silver reflector as I will be keeping them to hide the PCB, keeping it tidy since I'm using clear/tranparent reflector.
The 3 cables will be replaced with new longer cables, so some soldering work there.
Will be ordering these from the state --> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291403451008?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Tested the DRLs and I think I might have an issue with them. The DRL PBC has some sort of circuit build in to it. The white LEDs will be permanently on and when the trigger receive signal from the indicator, it will cut off the white LEDs and only the amber LEDs will light up. However, I think when indicator is on, it will actually flash amber, white, amber, white........until I cancel the indicator switch.
However, the issue above only when I tested them with a 12V power supply. Hopefully it will not do that when I actually connect them on the car. Else I'll need to copy a circuit that I managed to find on Google.
Expecting to get them on the car somewhere in May 2015, will be busy with work from next week onwards so this will need to park for a bit.
