Nico. Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 so far all i have learnt is this is the best way to do it as the lights should be legally used in conjunction with your sidelights and not main beam or anything...... does anyone know how i could connect them up the the sidelights?

Nico. Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 What make are your DRL's? also, what was included with them? i got them from Halfords, for christmas i got like 30 quid in Halfords vouchers so decided just use them up.. they jus come with the lights a battery pack so you can see what they look like and thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyb Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 any chance of some pictures once you have them fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coysht Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Out of interest, where exactly are you planning on fitting the DRLs? Looking at the front of the Fiesta the only option that doesn't involve cutting holes in the bodywork is the main grill - but thats quite narrow compared to the overal width of the car, so I wonder if they would look odd fitted at a point narrower than the main lights.

bigjock Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 you'd be aswell removing the indicators in your side mirrors and using those to house your drl's, i bet this would be a world first lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetecpete Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Check out post dated 20/8/09,under pictures of my zetec s mountune,flexi led's that contour around the headlights via an american firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benholden2008 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 i take it that the DRL's you got are these ones... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...tegoryId_165688 after looking at http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index...ic=7004&hl= i think they look fantastic and with postage they come to 45 dollers (just under £30) however, its alot easier to pop to Halfords to buy them then if they look naff just take them back. the only difference i can see between them is that the halford ones are only 15 inch long, (compared to the 19inch ones shown on the white zetec s) so what would they look like? i would imagine they are very easy to wire up, positive to sidelight positive and negitive to a ground somewere near, cant go wrong really. if i get time i will go to Halfords any buy some then try them on for size, unless you have any pics of them fitted?

Nico. Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 and another quick one.... On the top of the lights? personally i thinking the underneath one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisZetecS Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'd go for the underneath tbh, although on top of the lights looks good also! A bit like a Saab :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico. Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 decided to take the Halfords led's back... they dont even get half way round the light so looks shocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff over here costs more and looks poor by comparison. Good find that site, well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benholden2008 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ordered. came to £27 which to be honest is very good. even if they was a uk seller selling them the same spec and quality, you can gaurantee they'd be atleast £50! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
