Phil21185 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Ok, I've fitted my Daytimo Runoing Lights from China (no, seriously, see my build thread!). Tapped into the headlight wire with no CanBus issues at all and no flickering. So there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember from grammar school days that light travels slower through different substances, such as glass or water. Hence refraction. You're right though, I don't think it makes a difference in this case =] Not to rekindle the fire or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2016 Focus estate and wanted to upgrade the headlights to the version with the DRL integrated into them, is the wiring harness already in the car or do i need to mod the wiring? Attached link to the headlight with the DRL http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_focus_headlamp_and_flasher_lamp_assy_lh_2014-_f_2060628_c_1473.htm Yes, I done this swap on my old 2015 titanium. Just get the headlights all the wiring is already there, but you will need them activated. But this can be tricky to find a Ford dealer to this for you ( takes all of 10minutes) A independent dealer will have a go mind, Jackson Ford did mine £40 in Henley in Arden. You can also do it yourself if you want, its easy enough.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furio101 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks, I assumed the wiring was already in place. I will have to see if I can find somewhere to get them activated, doubt my local Gates will be that helpful .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_111 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Yes, everything is there. There was another guy on here who also changed his front lights, and had a problem with main dealers doing the 10 minute activation none was willing, so he done it himself with a modified ELM327 from eBay.

Furio101 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks for the response, I do have an ELM327 used to active my Satnav. I don't think I have the nerv to play around with more setting ref the lights without some instruction .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huey45 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I put the Chinese sourced Cheese Slice ones into the lower blanked grilles on my Mk3 Tit, and could not get working at first it was a Chinese wiring problem where their RED wire is actually a Negative, not Positive and their Black wire is actually a Positive, they then worked but Hyper Flashed, so the next option was to fit power resistors as per attached circuit drawing, then they worked fine, but auto lights option, fooled them only use manual light option if fitted !!

huey45 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 From memory the power resistors were 50 Watt 6 Ohm's, most car lighting suppliers have them Fizzmo, etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
