Hi Phil, I found an ignition fed fuse in the main fuse box on my 2000 Z3.I connected my DRL's to this fuse. I will take some photo's and post them tomorrow evening if that's soon enough for you?

Cheers, Tony.

So you want them as DRLs rather than off the side lights which is how I wired mine.

@t-tony has wired in some DRLs on his, so should be able to suggest a feed.

TBH Phil my all chrome headlights have built in angel eyes but they're not very bright, which is why I decided to fit some proper DRL's.:)

I replaced my bumper light bulbs with the "cree" type of LED bulb. Main reason being is that they show to the side as well as the front and pulling out of the gate at work it shows to oncoming traffic. Again I will try to get some pic's of these bulbs.

Me too Phil, always want my car to be one of a kind, hence Grumpy on the back panel.=))
Those cree lights are a tad expensive compared to ordinary led's but the difference is amazing. I bought 2 for my reversing lights last May in Florida and they were $10 a pair, brilliant reversing lights now.

Hi Phil here goes. Pictures showing wire enrty into relay/fuse box and connection for my DRL's. Also a couple to try to show what I meant re the "Cree" type led bulbs for brightness. I hope these help.

Oh, Felt any good books lately?
Just watched, tonight, John Wilkinson, being interviewed on BBC on You Tube. The most humbling experience I will ever see. God let that man live as long as he can. He will be back in the night. Awesome.

Must be especially difficult on a lap top screen!! Have you tried the old safe cracker trick of sand papering your finger tips so they're more sensative. A 50 grit on a belt sander would likely be overkill though! JIM
