you need to paint your trailer to match your deli!

You won't find anything like that already at the headlight, you'll have to run it from the fuse box or the steering column.thelazybrownfox wrote:Has anyone found wiring at the L400 headlight that can be used as DRL wiring, on as soon as the key is turned? I didn't but I'm just an amateur....
No. the "City light" socket in the headlights is only for show, and not to be used as DRL, the bulbs that fit it simply aren't bright enough, and one that would be bright enough would probably also throw off too much heat and risk melting some plastic in there. I use the "city light" in conjunction with the LED DRLs listed earlier, I find it looks neat, but that's about it.Is there a bulb bright enough to be used in the E code headlight DRL socket to satisfy the DRL police?
I didn't actually do the wiring in the L400, so I can't really tell you, mardy did it on my Delica, At some point I'm sure I'll be in there re-wiring, and I'll try to document things at that time (but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for me...)Where are you guys tieing in to power the lo side of the DRL relay on the L400? What colour wire? I thought the fuse box might have something I could tie into rather than at the steering column.

I'll add the info and pictures to the Wiki.

Not only would it be better, the law requires it. I find the strip LEDs aren't bright enough to really attract attention. I'm hoping that in the next year or so higher power ones will become available. When that happens I'll replace my H3 lights with LEDs.thelazybrownfox wrote:Wouldn't it be better to have the LED's (DRL's ) off when the headlights were on?
You just need proper LED light bars and not just some cheap CT version: http://visionxsuperstore.com/led.aspxErebus wrote:I find the strip LEDs aren't bright enough to really attract attention.

Quite true. I saw some lovely LED offroad lights, a 2" x 2" x 2" cube, puts out the equivalent of 100W halogen, but draws only about 2 Amps. Only problem is they are $140 each, and I would love to have 10 of them (2 front and 2 rear ditch lights, backups, and 4 forward facing offroaders). So I had to pass!fexlboi wrote:You just need proper LED light bars and not just some cheap CT version: http://visionxsuperstore.com/led.aspx
