How To install aftermarket DRLs

[robz32]

Have not heard anything. Will send an email tomorrow to find out.

Thanks Rob.

@robz32 Hi Rob. Did you hear back on this?

 

[robz32]

yes I did. Apologies for not posting before.

There are currently no plans on getting a version 2 made, there isn't even a prototype ready. Their factory has other projects they are working on and this got put in the back burner.

 

[Tobstertx3]

Thanks

So given that there are no plans for a revised product with brighter LEDs, would you still recommend these lights? Are they effective as fog lights?

 

[robz32]

They are not effective as fog lights, not bright enough. It does however compliment the look of the front very good at dusk and night.

I agree. They do not work as fog lights. They do look very nice in low light or night time though.
In my opinion, they should have used more powerful LEDs, and rather than use white frosted perspex they should of gone with clear perspex to allow more light to go through it.
Depending on how much light the clear perspex let's through, you may not need to upgrade the LEDs at all.
One day I might make up my own prototype with clear perspex and brighter LEDs, and use the wiring kit from the old one.
Here's mine.

Damn, that still looks sexy AF. And I have the same M&S front splitter so it's cool to see parts of it reflect off the light.

@Rango you are correct on your wire assignment.

The end with the round capacitor goes to the harness on your car the other end (with the square) goes to the DRL.

Let me know if you need additional information.

So I just installed the DRLs on my AWD GT, and I noticed I don’t have the same colored wires on my light harness, mostly no read. I also have the gray, white, purple wires on the DRLs. Any suggestions on what to hook up to on the car side?

I just came across your pic and I have a quick question. How closely do the aftermarket DRLs match the color of the factory DRLs? Your picture makes it look incredibly similar, but I've seen other pictures that make it look considerably different. Also, are they still running fine now that you've had them installed for a while?

they look good, regardless if they are effective as fogs or not. anyway, wouldn't they be considered more of a driving light than fog lights?

They definitely don't match exactly but they are close looking in colour. You can tell there's a difference but they still look good I think. I installed mine in August 2018 and still working fine no issues.

Yeah definitely not effective as fog light. They don't have good beam focus and are not bright enough. There more just a accessory light but definitely increases the visibility of your car for other drivers in dusk/dawn and night of course.

I have the same problem with the wire being different colors. I have the yellow limited edition GT Stinger RWD. I managed to get the white Led light to work but I wasnt able to figure out where to connect the amber colored light wire. So the it will single with the hazard light and turn single light. Can someone help me out?

So it's basically the two top right wires and the middle far left wire on both. See below.

This is the left side (as sitting in the car looking forward). (ignore the green wire. I made a mistake there). I had two white wires coming from this sides DRL so I just matched it with the other side which has white, grey & purple.

This is the right side (as sitting in the car looking forward)

Hopefully this helps.
Good luck.

I finally had time to attach the wires for the DRL, but it doesn't have the wire at the right side of the top row of the head lights. Is it a different wire on my Stinger GT limited edition.

I can't help you there. Do you have the halogen globe headlights? That would explain the difference. Mine are the LED headlights.

I fingered it out and got them done. They look great.

How did you connect them? I had the same problem with the wires being different colors.
