Hmmm I wonder how that would last outside with rain and such?

Well I came across Chris Fix on YouTube and in particular, this video - https://youtu.be/F8whjrksd0I

He uses a clear UV spray on type application that is supposed to protect the light and keep it in good condition. Worth a try I guess.

Ya that looks like it'll do the job. Why don't you test it out and report back to us... in oh say 2 years

Received my new DRL lights. First inspection would suggest they are much better quality than what I currently have installed.

I believe these ones don't actually require a 12v power source, instead use the standard indicator loom for DRL power. I'll do some testing. The ACC line runs from the positive parker wire to dim when headlights are on. Very assumptive of me, I'll be sure to post my findings.

And to add to that, these come with inline resistors installed into the assembly. I've searched high and low for these heat sink mounts as I think they're bloody awesome. Anyone know what they're called?

Well I was wrong... These new DRL lights do require a 12v power source. Fuse location #33 in the engine bay fuse box is an ignition fuse so I tapped that. They don't dim which is disappointing so I may install a control box for that. We'll see if I can be bothered

A quick question if I may about these blinkers, the originals that is. It seems there is only half of the fitting used at all and this is only for the blinkers? Is there supposed to be something else in the factory bumper mounted blinkers or is this space just for other models? Half the lens is clear so I assume there is something else supposed to be in there? This pic below shows what I mean well. Any ideas??

There's meant to be LEDs in there, just like the inner tails where there is a mount for them just the holes haven't been drilled out

Wheres the best spot to connect the ground wire - any suggestions? I have a red, black and blue wire. I suspect blue goes to the parkers for dimming.

There are ground points in the engine bay, just have a look behind the headlights a bit lower down.
Yes the dimmer wire needs to tap the parkers.
