Brigante Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The parts for my next mod have arrived and I will be fitting DRL's to the mondeo very shortly But first I need to know the colour of the sidights that are in my headlights so that I can splice the relay into them. Quick reply would be really appreciated as the sooner I know the colour the sooner I can do the mod :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Much obliged I was attempting to wire in my drl's Got a relay to dim them 50% when side lights come on Connected all up as per instructions, earthed the relay to suitable bolt in engine bay, connected live to the battery, wired on the drl strips and spliced a wire into the side light feed There is a minor delay on turning ignition on before the drl's light up, very bright, on turning the side lights on they dim 50% but also flicker very rapidly which obviously is not right and could easily trigger an epilepsy attack So tomorrow I will try splicing into the dip beam feed instead see if that solves the flickering If it doesnt then I am at a loss as to what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Some LED's don't like half power and flicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just as I thought, turns out the relay needed tapping into the dipped beam feed not the side lights. Quickly rectified and now the drls are fitted and up n running Have a mooch in my build thread for the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
