DRL'S

[RyanWXM]

Hey guys im thinking of fitting some drl's to the lower grill of my car ?? What peoples opinions on them are and has someone already fitted them ?? Hard/easy to do and what does it look like :L ??

 

[Bluebeard]

They look shat. That's all you need to know.

 

[JP83]

God awful things.

 

[MarkX]

Awful

 

[RyanWXM]

ohhh :l i wasnt sure what they looked like on a clio cant really find and pics of it done but then again that might be a sign :L

 

[Adey.]

you can get clip to run your normal headlights as DRL's you just look like you left your lights on though

 

[Knuckles]

They scream "I have no idea about cars and I'm cheap as f**k".

The oem ones are bad enough.

Yeah ok think thats a no then LOL but they are not cheap £80 they are for Philips ones with auto dim

 

[Advikaz]

Sh*te.

 

[..Jack..]

Do you like driving around looking like a Christmas tree?
No I thought not, they look sh**e in my opinion

 

[Knuckles]

I didn't say they were cheap, they just look cheap lol.

I've seen some older cars which should look quite respectable (Mercs, beakers etc) with these fitted and they look like a 17 year old has got hold of their parents car and wants it to look like an r8. Because drl.

Just my opinion though

 

[Rossi1989]

Everyone has an option like anything else some people like it others don't i personally like them this is them fitted to my Mk3 if you want to know what they look like.

 

[Addicted]

Unless they come with the car as standard, generally they look utterly turd.

 

[...]

OEM drl's are fine , unless you own a shitron , stuck on cars that never had them they look god awful

 

[Jaff.]

I like them personally. I've been attempting to put them on my megane with varying degrees of success.

 

[cat171]

Complete crap.

Yours are clever smart arse built in fog ducts and indicators though. Not just stuck on t**t strips lol

 

[Fantom]

Why not just drive with your side lights on?

Or xenons blazin'

Fair point lol. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the op that he will do it tastefully

True dat

I got Dan@SJM to set my headlights permanently on via clip. First thing I do in any car is turn the headlights on. I think it looks fine. Couldn't give a flying monkey ^&*0 anyway even if it does look s**t. Personally, I'd rather be seen.

Can you still turn them off with the stalk?
Would love to have this on my 182 leave the lights on and have them come with the ignition.

 

[Goodj]

If you're going to add extra lights for scene points, just fit a roof bar with 4 KC Daylighters on it.

At least they'll be useful in the dark, and look infinity% less gash

 

[Jaff.]

i think the benefits of DRL's massively outweigh the potential for looking like a dick personally

It sets the auto-lights permanently on, so the dipped beam is constantly on. Full beam is still manually operated and you have to turn the lights on, on the stalk to be able to engage full beam. They turn on when you turn the ignition on though, so in that sense they operate like a DLR. Might seem stupid to some but I always drive with the headlights on because as Jaff says, to me the benefits outweigh looking like a dick.

Just what i'm looking for.
Anything specific to ask for?
Dealers can be a bit dense...[emoji57]

Couldn't tell you exactly how Bozo as mine were done by @Dan@SJM a specialist based in glastonbury

IMO that's pointless! Surely its just as easy to use the stalk as intended!?

 

[Goodj]

Too difficult?

For you, perhaps it is mate.. Evidently it's not pointless for me or I wouldn't have it as such.

 

[Knuckles]

I just leave my light stalk switched on. The lights come on with the ignition and go off with it.


...apart from when I use the follow me home lights.

 

[Sash]

I have DRLs on my DS3 but I just use my standard halogen headlights...

The ones on the New clio are so friggin bright even in broad daylight.

That's the point lol

 

[Knuckles]

I still don't understand how neons and other silly lights are illegal for dazzling and distracting other road users... But drls are actively encouraged. The amount of times I've been dazzled by those twatting lights is obscene!

I know you're more intelligent than that question

 

[Knuckles]

Intelligence is taking a back seat due to blind rage against drls lol

 

[Sash]

That's the point lol

Not to the point of being dazzled by them!

Why have DRLs on the front but not the rear? The number of brainless morons I've seen running just front DRLs but no rear lights at night is getting a bit silly.

Volvo had this sorted perfectly donkeys years ago.

 

[Jaff.]

I agree you shouldn't be dazzled by them but the concept is a good idea IMO.

I certainly spot cars quicker when they have drls

 

[McGherkin]

Stupid pieces of s**t. Look gash on all cars, not just the ones where they've been tacked on afterwards.
