    Driving light advice - yes another one

    Hi chaps
    D4 2012 TDV6

    I have read almost all the threads and am biting the bullet
    Have ordered the Prospeed bracket

    Now to the spots
    I want DRL
    I want small and round ~7” (understated)

    So looking at Stedi... no DRL
    But found Hardkorrs - anyone used these ?

    BZR-X Series 7" LED Driving Lights (Pair w/Harness) - Hardkorr Australia

    Any other suggestions?

    Also, I will get a auto electrician to wire it all up (want it to be Smick)... and wiring is not my forte

    So I am in Brisbane.. anyone got someone they could recommend?

    Finally - for DRL I don’t have DRLs on my D4 ... so I presume my sparky will need an ID tool to turn on DRLs?

    Sorry for all the questions

    Thanks
    Foz

    You’ll need a controller to turn on DRLs. The vehicle won’t be able to do it for you easily.

    Just keep in mind to be legal DRLs must be 400mm apart.

    Have a chat to this bloke. If he won't do it, at least he will be good with advice.

    Check out various 4x4 magazines as they often do comparison test like this one 4x4 LED driving light comparison test: Introduction (whichcar.com.au) A bit old now but it gives you an idea. I have these on my car and really like them. Not round nor DRL but I think understated. Striker LED Driving Light - Lightforce

    Thanks guys another question - had anyone used the “lock window” button or any other button as the cabin switch

    I.e. run the relay off that button

    So windows locked = lights on
    Windows unlocked = lights off
    Or visa versa

    Just thinking
