Day time running lights
Anyne know when / if they will be compulsory ? a guy few houses away from me got them fitted to his 08 Mondeo, aftermarket non OEM i think, fitted just under the bumper, he told me they going to be compulsory in UK cant remember what date/year he said it will be! however i also been told they were compulsory in certain european countries but not anymore???
On new cars yes,
Retro fitted, no
Stoney You can fit some if you like. Though it will never be law on older cars. Sounds like matie down the road might be confused?
Oh ok yeah i see lots of new cars with them, i think they look ok as a standard fit but after market not my thing !!

Why would they even need to be aftermarket parts? Surely it's just a case of modifying the wiring so the sidelights are always on?
I've been thinking about getting some of these for mine but I don't want to fit the usual row of LEDs just above the headlights, too Audi for me.
When we went to the Ace followed by the Tunnels run last year there was another member that convoyed with us in a silver IS200. I think his name is Ernest. He has done something with his front fog lights so they come on as DRLs.
Anyone any ideas on how this is done?
A day time running light is defined as a stand alone unit that is not wired into a sidelight or an existing fog light and wired to operate thro the ignition.
if you did wire any existing light all it would be is a fog or a sidelight switched on during the day.
All ernest did was to fit hid burners wired to ign, but in the eyes of the law they are still foglights.
