Day Running Lights

Just been looking at Gary's Panda and i am thinking about putting the running lights on my GP.

http://http://www.fiatforum.com/pand...-my-100hp.html

The only think is that i cant think of anuwhere to fit them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

David

I doubt you would be able to seal it properly afterwards if you take the lense off.

Just put your sidelights on .

Re: Day Running Lights

RVLR = The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/SI/si1989/Uks...en_8.htm#nsch3

there is also a requirement for the fitting location but i cant find it it'll be something like no less than 300mm from the ground no higher than 1500mm and less than 3000 mm from the outer edge of the car.. (just an example)

Re: Day Running Lights

Day running lights seem pointless to me.

Just looks like an excuse to put fairy lights all over the car without being labelled as a chav

No, how am I doing that? Audi R8s and S5s are a completely different kettle of fish. Some cars have a big spoiler, like the porsche 911 turbos, it looks cool on the porsche. But it wouldn't look cool on a GP, but does this mean I'm calling porsche owners chavs? I don't think so.

I've voiced my opinion on the LL that day running lights are pointless.
