Lightbulb Where to Put DRL'S?

Hi everyone...

I want to install Osram DRL to my KB1.

There is a space below fog lights but I wonder does it effect front brake rotor air cooling vent flow in case of installation here?





What do you think?

Regards...

No. Euro Spec Legend does not have DRLs.

I had installed single 1 watt power LED for front side marker only but they are not enough.

ahhh, gotcha.

I think this has potential, I do not see where you would affect anything performance wise by putting it in the vent.

I'm not certain about the fitment, there will be some trimming and creative mounting.

Post pics once you are complete. May look pretty good in that location.

The slot below the fog light does nothing as it is sealed.

There is a grill but it does not "vent" to anything

I've found an app called OSRAM HIGHLIGHTS.

You can virtually add DRLs to your car.

There is a PDF file on the site.
I printed the real sized figure and tested on place.
It will be fine

@HEAVY_RL

Thank you for the pic.

@oo7spy
Thank you for info.

I thought it was brake cooler

I could have sworn mine was sealed. I was interested in taking the intake from there to cut about 1/3 of the piping down since it routes right there anyway.

Here are the Osrams...

They are better then I thought.

Good shape, good design...

Actually I had created this photo compisition for MSW 6SP, but you are on the net

Let's check "unmodified" pic:

Where to Put DRL'S?-vkt2l9y.jpg

#1 This is not a "фляга", this is a "şişe" (can be pronounced like SHEE-SHAY). "фляга" is MyKL's language, not mine...
I put this "şişe" for MSW 6SP. All road are dirty in Turkey

#3 Nobody sees my "pense". You should

#4 My wife's school. She had an exam on Sunday and all the car lots were full. So, I had to "wait" (not park ) on semi-sidewalk - semi road position.
Shame on me

#2
Actually, I had no time for installation. Just put the lights into the spaces to see.

But I've tested the light and recorded a video. System works amazing. Just connect cables to the battery, that's it!
The control unit detects "ripple current" when the alternator feeds battery, which means running engine.

If you want them to be turned off when your lights are ON, connect orange cable to side markers' cable.

%50 dimming can be used when low beams are on. Just need to connect BLUE to ground.



Pixel-free lighting is very cool...

Thanks.
I also do not like any non-original add on jobs.
But this one is good.

In Euro, no DRL comes with Legends.

I remember having a similar issue with my 2003 Accord. I wanted DRL so bad, got rid of the car before I did anything about it, lol.

Very nice. I even like the tinted headlights, even though I'm usually not a fan of any tinted lights.

oo7... does this mod require a lot of wiring and splicing? If it's a few wires then it'll be something I can handle but anymore than that then I won't even bother.

Headlights were not tinted. It was just very cloudy. Thanks tho.

How up to date are you on your Circuits 101?



This design was less than perfect, but it was plug and play when everything needed to be connected. I went this route so that I could revert to stock and not splice any original wires. I have since come up with what I think is a better design, but it will likely never come to fruition without another Honda with highbeam DRLs in my garage.

^^^ Not good at all lol. I had a feeling that this was going to be more in depth than just some simple wire splicing.

Very nice Turk.

Did you have to cut or trim the inner side of those pseudo vents or did they fit inside those spaces without cutting?

I am curious if in those positions if they enhance the lighting of the road nearest the car?

Thanks.

I've just drilled a small hole for the cable.

The bracket provided is very useful. I've installed the bracket on bumpers own, not to that plastic grill. Put four screws to upper and two to the plastic gril for enforcement.

Where to Put DRL'S?-rubruhv.jpg

I used ECE R48 rules for measurements and I ensured that DRLs' angle is 90 degree to floor. Everything fits to the rules

When low beams are on, DRLs are off. So, nobody will sware on me...

I was expecting a slight hint of blue with those. Maybe it was the color of the box that through me off.

Whats up Turk? I just caught up on this thread. I was confused at first because I did not comment in this thread yet but you must be referring to my 'thanks' on post #10 and my comment about driving on dirt roads in you previous thread.
The DRL fitment looks good. Let me know when you are ready to swap my Acura headlights for your Honda set.

If you will also send your gront grill, we may think about exchange...

I would say those are 5000k over 6000k.

Considering they match your headlights almost perfectly, there seems to be good reason to believe they aren't 6000k* regardless of how the picture was taken. 6000k is blue. Those are white.


*Unless your headlights are 6000k.
