re image number 4 during darkness, you wont actually be driving around like that ,you'll have dipped beams on which will engulf the drls, [unless they switch off when headlights on].....

Images of my previous FFRR TD6 Vogue SE, the LED halos cost £53 all in including DRL relays for both headlights & about 21/2 hours work each side. Passed MOT no problem.

Yep all straight forward hardest part is making sure you don't bake the lights too long in the oven .I did not use relays but tapped into sidelights. |

We use an AGA, some exact temperature control was not an option. Used a heat gun instead and that worked okay. Suspect doing as Googsy did using an oven would be quicker, potentially less messy.

I sourced directly from China, will try and dig out the old invoice to identify the company. I bought all the halos, 2 of each size, from the one company to ensure uniformity of brightness, colour etc. The relays I mounted and spliced into the existing wiring inside each headlight and configured to come on with the ignition & extinguish when the headlights were turned on. I changed my sidelight bulbs to matching colour LEDS. No separate switch is required with this setup and it is completely legal, resulting in ignition on - Halos on, Sidelights on - Halos on, Side & front fogs - halos on, headlights & sidelights - halos off. Main beam - halos off.

I'd go for op 1, but then the stock looks just great in any form of FF....then there had to be an other option ....number 5 |

Can't find invoice as it was well over a year ago that I did this mod. From memory the company was called something like hnb.com or hnbshop.com? Should've been old enough to know better...doh!

That's the kind of response that would make me buy from them. Confident, helpful, factual. Not pushy or arrogant.

re fitting, put some thin cardboard or heavy duty paper on the bumper where the headlight is, its easy to scratch it as you wiggle the headlight out..
