[b3nchy]

OK OK OK, So i know a lot of people dont like them etc etc etc but i dont care

i wanna fit a set to my mk3 but cant decide were. depending on were will obviously make a diffrent to the style and size of the light units i will fit. ie im not going to have fog light size lamps sticking out of the grill (like some )

All three will make it look incredibly stupid. (IMO!)

 

[Adam.]

It's not an Audi.

Leave it alone.

 

[SC03OTT]

A is the 'better' option. In B are you seriously proposing to put a strip right along the bottom of the grill?

Rolling with xenons blazing is baller though.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Neither they all look s**t imo. I really don't see the point in them at all.

Standard procedure yo

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Aftermarket DRLs look s**t, no matter where you place them.

Just don't do it.

 

[b3nchy]

ha its funny now that ive photo shopped the white on i really dont like them

 

[b3nchy]

Maybe if anything just an led side light style conversion on the fog lamps, so that theyre not on blinding people but just a nice white glow

 

[Adam.]

Looks better now blad.

 

[Jcs]

Fit them in the bin. They look really good there.

Just get some LED sidelights instead.

 

[Stefan.]

oh dear..

Please don't do this, they look bloody horrible!

 

[Chapster5]

Is your license plate legal?

 

[johnnyd]

All aftermarket DLRLs look s**t. They are always that cheap looking blue colored LED rather then the nicer looking white light that manufacturers fit as standard and always fitted badly. After market DLRL are the modern day equivalent to fitting LEDs on your screen washer nozzles, AKA wanker lights.

Don't do it.

 

[Brett]

Is your license plate legal?

Probably not however neither are most peoples on here as a lot run 3/4 plates. Who cares.

Re: daytime running lights. Just don't. A better upgrade would be to get some projector lamps and HID's.

 

[Adam.]

You guys do realise that plate is a photoshop right.....?

all wrong its just a show plate i had made one year, if u look theres a clip either side holding it over the original

think ill skip the dlrs as said they dont look very good now that ive looked at it like that.

might go for the night rider red led in bonet instead! JOKES!!!

Leave it alone. Just put your sidelights on instead

 

[b3nchy]

Leave it alone. Just put your sidelights on instead

Sidelights out. Xenons on. Standard.

everyones got there prefrences don't worry about what anyone says really! But i think number 2 if anything ! Don't listen to what anyone else thinks i like cherry bombs but they're rare also :drunk:

 

[Knuckles]

Drls look utter shite on almost everything, they scream "I'm a t**t" IMO, especially aftermarket ones.

if you really want to fit them though, fit them to the rear bumper instead. That way, oncoming vehicles won't think you're a t**t and people behind you will be pleasantly confused lol

all IMO ofc

I see what you did there

Standard procedure yo

This!

All cars post 2011 must have DRL's as standard fit , EU law though they don't need to be LED's

 

[Lawro]

Sidelights out. Xenons on. Standard.

Straight baus!

Is that why I see tossers driving around with only their fog lights on?

foglights on no , 11 plate and on drls yes ...... my volvo has twin led strips in the front and the top of the headlights glow orange like us style drls from years ago

you can see the leds either side of the grill and just see the orange to to the headlights

 

[scotty2hotty81]

I think you should fit them back in the box and send them back.

Ah, usdm sidelight type thing?

new 200s don't have them :/ or is it cars designed after 2011?

i suspect if facelifted then yes , the clio 4 has them but i am not sure on the exact wording

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-08-1394_en.htm

eu law states all new vehicles after feb 7 2011 must have them

 

[Knuckles]

Ah. That's unfortunate

 

[b3nchy]

Cant be all cars registered after 2011 as that would make almost all 62 plate cars u see illegal. Myne is 62 no lights

 

[b3nchy]

New vehicles released makes more sense. But i suppose they will now be all molded into the body and fitted along with the design of the cat so "should" look ok. Should look in place

 

[Matt W]

Needs to be new versions of cars introduced after 2011. The mk3 clio was introduced in 2006 so mk3's don't need them.

i think it will apply to type approval, it would not be granted without drl,s so face lifted cars and new models

 

[b3nchy]

Ok so would an led conversion on the standard fogs be ok?? I have seen u can buy led bulbs but are they still to bright?

 

[Knuckles]

You mean led bulbs for fogs? That'd be better than drls
