Fitted these DRL's, one for Tony are they legal? and what do you lot think to them? I have two 10w lights at the moment but I think I can fit 3 in the space, but a little tight so just tried two for now.
Oh still playing about with connections to use the dimming option?

From an MOT point of view Bazza they don't exist (yet) . I doubt that the Police would be interested in them either.

Do your DRL's dim when main lights are turned on? I'm having trouble getting them to dim have tried connecting to fuse box direct and have now tried connecting to the side lights still not dimming

I got a dimming module off eBay, but it hardly made a noticeable difference, so I removed it.

I managed to get 3 in, but had to take the holders off and strip them down so they are just the LED and even then they are a tight fit behind the blank. I think I had to bend the backs of the LED wires slightly to get the blank back in place. They look more blue than normal on the photo.

If I leave mine on full time I tend to get flashed by other drivers as though they're blinded by them.

I did wire an inline isolator switch but they also dim with the lights. I don't get flashed when they're dimmed only when fully bright.

If I saw those coming the other way you would get full beam treatment from me mate, not just a flash.:(
