DRLs - anyone tried these? ** now with pics on pg10 **

[PND]

I've just ordered a set of the clear ones (they come as smoked or clear).  Watch this space! Review to follow..

Any chance of scanning and posting the wiring instructions?

Two years ago I so would have had those! As I said before: I'm extremely happy with mine but the whole purchase cost me a pretty penny even with discounts.

How many LED bulbs are there in each unit? Looks like 4.

I've tried to enable my sidelights in my xenons as DRL.... but I can't seem to get them to work!

People who are considering DRL might find this Kufatec wiring harness interesting, looks like you can use it to achieve a number of the more complicated DRL functions such as dimming when lights are activated, and dimming on one side when indicators are activated, as well as for coming/leaving home functionality.

I think there is a country specific setting in VCDS.

That is specific to fitting Kufatecs own LED strips.  It may not work with those shown in the OP.

I realise that, but the circuit board could be used with adapted plugs and provide some more advanced functionality beyond standard on with ignition and off with headlights.

OK - but you need to be good with electrickery!   I'm good with spanners, but shyte at copper spaghetti on cars!    Maybe I used to design car electrics on Italian cars in a previous life.

5 LEDs per side apparently.  Let me at least receive the units before you start asking for instructions, etc!!    

They do include dimmer units (if I've read my German correctly).

All will become clear in the not-too-distant future! (I hope. )

Cheers!

I can't help but be amused... How long ago was it that I fitted proper LED DRL's? 18 months? No one was interested and all I mostly heard was being accused of having fog lights. Now, everyone wants DRL's!

Not by me RedLeader!    I've always fully appreciated the benefits of DRLs, especially of the LED flavour - I just wasn't overly keen on your specific solution.

I think there was interest Robin (me for one) but yours do look like fog lights and with this solution it's obvious they are not as the original fogs remain.

I just they work after all this!

....True. There simply wasn't this option when I did mine and neither was it even on the horizon.
