Not quite true, daylight running lights are now included in an update to the Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989. |

just imagine leds in the fogs ...i could take a pic but with cameras having different colour tolerances it probably wont reproduce the 'right' picture.. ... - .- -. click link for , FORUM WIKI HOW TO Ǝꓕ∀ꓕOꓤ PICS workshop manual downloads are in our wiki . |

The only thing I could think you might have a problem with is that by putting an led lamp in the existing fitting, the combination of lamp and fitting is not "E" marked and thefore not strictly legal. Although I think someone would have to be very keen to spot that.

Might have a look into that in the New Year, particularly as it's easily reversible without damaging the car. |

I have xenon DRL's by fitting a xenon kit in the fogs and using a five pin relay...As soon as you switch on the lights (side or main or auto) they turn off...

them xenons must be pretty bright craig , i've found that my 18 smd's are enough...the beauty of using a dedicated drl switch is that they still stay on with the sides so on days where the bright headlight xenons are to much ,you have the sides and drls.. ... - .- -.

same here, i have LEDs in my fogs and it went through the mot fine, yes LEDs dont throw that much light but look fine for DRL's, I changed my high beam to LEDs but they were no good at all so swapped them to a xenon kit giving me tri-xenons never said any thing about them in the mot ether.
