Drl

[Buller]

Anybody know if there are aftermarket headlights with built in DRL available for the Grande punto? Been looking but can't find any. This is what I mean for anyone who isn't sure. Btw the picture is of a corsa d but this is what I'm after..

The reason why you might not find the Built in ones is because you will need a control module

When DRL's are near the indicators, you need to have a unit to DIM or turn off the DRL units when indicating, so the indicator stands out

Its nothing new - Genlabs have a kit that does JUST this....

So is it worth the hassle and cash?

Got a link to the control unit out of interest Ziggy?

Yes IMO, although I'd just fit some in the bumper for ease and will be cheaper.

Decent set from Ring automotive lighting will only be about £60 all in, even less if you shop about

Here is the ebay link the Genlabs Dim on indicator setup


I too would highly recommend having Bumper DRL's instead
Why?
Cheaper - Alot cheaper (£15 switch difference to start with)
Here is a Dim on sidelight/headlight unit

You can also get some E-marked units cheaper with a seperate switch vs Ring
But Ring make kits which are alot easier to fit from the video's

And a superior build quality also

So that link you posted, is that a drl that switches off when the sidelights are turned off?

No, just dims by the looks of it.

Would be better if they turn off completely though imo. There are some kits out there

So where does that drl go? I'm confused a little!
