Dicky Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Anyone have any idea what type of led's they use on the likes of merc/mondo/ others for their daytime running lights. I modded my front reflectors to act as DRL's but they don't look anywhere  near as bright as the modern DRL's fitted to new cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Grlnet is your man for all things LED but he is on a jolly in France and probably up to his neck in red wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Is your car a facelift? Unfortunately the reflectors on the pre-facelift face to the side so don't project much light forward facelift ones face forward and look much better when modded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but I feel the reflectors look better lit up than just as reflectors. I experimented by modifying mine ( see Lazy Mans DRL's ...author Hesketh) don't know how to post the short cut! Here's my attempt...viewtopic.php?f=9&t=63469&hilit=DRL%27s They look quite bright on the pictures but look a little blue in daylight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah its a real shame the pre facelift reflectors face out more than front, i'm not a fan of rumming lights I did think about making mine into indicators as it would help visibility when pulling out or on roundabouts etc.....
