Styling Day Running Lights

loudpunto · Feb 22, 2008

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

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

how about in the lower grill cut one of teh slats out and fit them in that

However check the RVLR to make sure you fit them legally

RVLR = The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/SI/si1989/Uksi_19891796_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)

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

loudpunto · Feb 25, 2008

so your calling all Audi R8 and S5 owners Chavs?

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.

Don't really like that idea, look abitcheap and tacky, maybe because they only look good on Audi's

smifton · Feb 25, 2008

I think on the GP, because of the shape of the headlamps it'd look quite nice.

at the weekend im going to try and wire about 10 LEDs across the bottom of the top grill. the only problem is im not so sure how to get the switch through to the inside of the car. i thought about wiring tem to the sidelights but it looks a little too complicated! ill put a switch on the other end and plug in into my cig lighter socket.

How would i get the wire through? never wired new lights up but i've messed about with electronics before so i have a dab hand with a soldering iron lol
