Disabled the DRL and added LED DRLs

Finally did my LED DRL install.

Disabled the DRL that uses the high beam and hooked up the LED's to light when the engine is running. Serves as my DRL.

Wow, the flaming has not started?

How did you wire it up? The Australian delivered RX doesn't have the drl fuse, and I have been wanting to add some drl' to my car. Be good to know how and where you wired it up.

Personally not to my taste, but your car

Simple, went to the fuse box and selected a fuse that is IGNITION "ON" and wired my + on it. I simply pinched the wire with the fuse, all done! I wired the negative to the battery minus. Very thin wires needed. The LEDs just need a tiny fraction of current to operate.

And they are very bright. More so at night.

I tied them in parallel and ran the pair of wires through the hood underside panel with tie wraps. I will take pics and post.

PICS:






Note: You will need to cut into the lip of the fuse box for it not to pinch the wire.

I think it looks good. Dit you order them on ebay?. Matches your SC nicely.

xmazon actually, they have come down on pricing. Just not sure they are made by 1 company, they are supposed to last a zillion hours, $10 for a pair.

They are now 3 sets for $9, wow! Must be a lot of makers nowadays. A set died (one installed on my CRV), hence bought some.

hmmm.. looks like it belongs in a 1992 corolla in the light gold color.

it would be nice to have a smaller DRL in the fog light housing.. like last-gen Prius.

These LEDs are very bright during the daytime and add lighting at night.
