Hella Daytime Running Light LED's....
JPW:
Excellent write up.
I didn't realise until I read it elsewhere that the Audi DRLs are so bright that you can't see the indicator when turned on - Audi get around this by disabling the DRLs when the indicators are turned on!
They think of everything - I saw it on an R8 the other day though and it appears to be true!
Weston:
I definitely agree with the safety over style element, but they do look very nice IMO :happy2:

Robin,
Hopefully all my jibbering will be clear now :wink:
This guy with his Mk4 .:R has achieved it and this is exactly what I was looking to do (although in reality I don't have the right controller module to allow VAGCOM to know about it)

That then gives the look of the DRL bulbs that the Audis without the fairylight strips have, which I think works just as well. The lower spec A5's, pre facelift S3's and B7 A4's (with Xenons) use this style of DRL.
Fairy lights wouldn't suit my car as it would just look like a cheap bodge mod, so I was always pursuing this method and style but it's not easy to explain unfortunately. Hopefully now that sheds some light.

^^^^
Those are very much like the Golf Mk6 'DRL's. Personally I prefer the LED fairy lights as they are a little stronger. But it's good that you can achieve what you want :happy2:.

^^ On the right car, definitely, I'd agree with you. They're more vibrant and are sharper.
The HID style beam 50% ones though I reckon would work on any car, whereas obviously the fairy lights are an acquired taste and wouldn't suit/fit any car.
As I had a few cracks at explaining, all I wanted was something a little brighter than conventional sidelights and I've in fact just tried some 100 lumens LED Xenon sidelights to run during the day. I'll update my members ride thread with the pics of them illuminated from daylight and at nighttime, but I think they're proving to be not as bright as I wanted for the daytime. I've decided that's the last set of aftermarket sidelights I buy for the GTI now. I think they're the sixth set :P
