Daytime Running Lights

[101RRS]

Any one put daytime running lights on their RRS? - if so where did you get them from and were they difficult to fit? A local supplier would be good.

I like the look of these ones.

Cheers

Garry,
This is a 10MY Sport with its Headlights & the LED Signature which are the "Park Lights" as with all 10MY vehicles that have Bi-Xenon lighting. (same as my Sig pic).
Daytime running lights are only available with Northern European vehicles.
The only way to turn them on is to set up the vehicle for that particular market, which changes other things, like eng tune, fuel requirements etc etc.

Cheers

You could run a seperate power supply to the DRL's via a relay triggered by a supply spliced into the parkers/signature LED's.

You could always drive around with your flog lights on like everyone else in Canberra does.

and the Western Ring Road (AKA the racetrack) in Melbourne ... w**kers !!!

yeah sorry to go slightly off topic but what is this thing with 70% of drivers here in Victoria using their foglights at night (and sometimes during the day!) when it rarely foggy.. Seems to only add to glare for oncoming drivers.

What like you do .

I am right against the use of ****** lights in the wrong conditions but I have recently had a couple of occasions where cars have pulled out in front of me and I have had to take corrective action to avoid a collision so was thinking about DRLs - I think these will have to be fitted to all new cars in the UK from next year.

Harsh Garry, harsh, and I thought we were old shipmates.

My 2005 Touareg had a DRL option through the onboard computer system and all it seemed to do was run the headlights at a lower intensity. maybe the simplest solution is to drive with your lights on.

I bet no one pulls out on the 101 mate.

PS Off to Oxley Wild Rivers NP tomorrow. Looking forward to it and hopefully won't need the flog lights.

[It'sNotWorthComplaining!]

here in Victoria there was ALL TALK the the coppers were going to police and fine people with those ****** lights, But as usual it was all talk, just like policing lunatics on mobile phones and texting whilst driving. All daraconian laws that may be writing in the statues but never enforced because we do not have the police man power to get out into the world and police it

Yes they do and things get interesting with the drum brakes - it is the olive drab paint - they cannot see it when in shadows. I am going to get some strip LEDS for the front bumper on it as DRLs - much easier to wire up.

Have a good trip. It will be comfortable in the luxobarge - I suppose your fuel consumption will go up with all that nice new gear you have.
