[@Beer_Dad1975]

These look great, totally jealous! I agree on the quick splicers - been using them for many many years, never had a problem with them - unlike when I used to solder (badly) stuff together and it'd often give issues after a few years of being bumped around. One thing I'd consider is trying to water proof with some quality tape around the splicer, and heat shrink over the blade connector.

[@stevenringo]

Remember, parkers also turn on the tail lights, whereas most DRLs will be front only.

[@phild1031]

Finally got around to fitting these to the XR8, using the DRL controller you suggested. Looks awesome, thanks for the tip!

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Nice work! Glad to hear the controller worked as intended.

[@robwoof3662]

Added a set of these to my BF XR6 NA a couple of months ago. I used a DRL controller like the one you linked, rather than feeding off the parkers, and I love the new look. Very satisfying to pull off a project like this!

[@timothykemp6214]

Hey mate, just curious, did you have to order 2 controlers for the lights? One each or can one controller power both the lights? Cheers, just about to buy some and want to know the besg way to go about using then controller

[@robwoof3662]

@@timothykemp6214 I got one controller, and joined the output to both lights. The controller I got had its “input” wires with c-terminals, which bolted nicely onto my battery terminals. I used some double-sided tape to stick the controller to the side of the fuse box behind the battery.

[@timothykemp6214]

@robwoof3662 were the wores long enough or did you have to use extra wire? Sorry mate i just want to make sure ive got everything before i buy them! Cheers

[@robwoof3662]

@@timothykemp6214 the control box had positive and negative in (to attach to the battery), and positive and negative out (to the lights), which were only about 30cm long. The lights only need positive, so I trimmed off the output negative. I then joined a wire to the output and ran it to the left-side light, and spliced off that on the way for the right-side light. The lights have plugs matching the standard ones for the fog light function, and an extra bare terminal for the halo section power. You need to put “spade” type terminals on the ends of your wires.

[@timothykemp6214]

I just did the same! Turned our brilliant! Thanks!

Those fog lights look mint 👌Nice job on the installation. The stealthy PWR logo behind the bumper just adds to the beauty of that front end 😎

[@bennugent4426]

Hi Sean, I've got another solution for your halos power. If you wire them up to the window switches fuse then you can turn on the halos with an unlock of the car, and they will turn off when you lock it. All works with the remote, kind of a modern touch to them, though they will always be on when you're using the car

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Not a bad idea. Any circuit that powers on with accessories/reds should work just as well too.

[@tj1097]

That’s a great idea. You can buy a fuse tap so you don’t have to mess with the wiring too

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

I wonder if you could power the lights off an ignition power source

[@driver3025]

[@gore1978]

not sure of what space you are working within under the bumper on the sedan, but with the Territory you can change out the goffie lights without taking the bumper skin off as they mount to the reo bar. just take the lower air dam plastic splash plate whatever they call it and work via the gap if you can lift the front end up

[@silverbodgie4171]

Hi Sean, were you able to use your fog light protectors, or do they mask the halo?

[@ravenc703]

set up at the bench looking mint 👌

[@jamesfrench7299]

It's good to be able to turn them off with the ignition on in case you need to go stealthy for any reason. I just don't like the idea of having no choice. Do they turn off if you forget to switch of the parkers? Also I don't know if I want the rear taillights turning on with them all the time in certain conditions as the brake lights coming on may not be as apparent to those behind in broad daylight. They are a fantastic solution to retrofitting them to a car.

Can you make a video how to use use the drl controller in these lights.

[@alexanderbryden683]

Did you ever figure out the process of doing this because I’m currently trying to figure out how I will do this too

[@stillfreefilms]

I don't hate the quick connectors but have never been able to get them to work. Just easier to solder them for me when doing wiring.

[@justinjoyit13]

Great value. Some heat shrink on the blade connector would have been a good idea- even though the weather there is not so bad. I did think that you may have put the original foam bumper inserts back in as I think they would have raised the bumper up another 1/2 cm or so and really closed up the gap. Personal taste, but the gap is still slightly too wide for me and would not effect the headlight appearance but closed the bonnet gap. I'm an Aussie in the UK and have an old SLK 320 6 speed manual (rocking horse pooh in Oz and changes it from a hairdresser to a bogan mobile) and I did something similar.

[@arifkhan75776]

What people don't know is scotch lock connectors are used by most auto elecies connect tow bar wiring to the car as you dont want to cut & splice wires

[@iamasmurf1122]

Ha yeah and that’s why I don’t take cars to auto electrical guys who use those quick connect things , have you heard of solder ; gas powered soldering irons , and also heat shrink at all ! It’s called doing the job properly

[@Beer_Dad1975]

@@iamasmurf1122 Solder doesn't really like being bumped around constantly - I know if you use the right solder and do a proper job it's fine - but lets be honest here, most of us aren't using the right solder, and we solder maybe a few times a year, and so we end up doing a bit of a crap job and after a few years you get dry joints and it cracks and causes issues. These connectors though, they are foolproof and last decades. He probably should have made some effort to water proof them though.

[@peterriggall8409]

Agree, looks good. 👍

[@CyberBeatAustralia]

These look great! On my BFII Fairmont Ghia I got replacement bulbs for the front indicators, that were white DRLs but switched to orange for indicators. Super clean install, loved them on that style and the fg headlights, wouldn’t work so well in the XR headlights though I don’t think

[@Matt123a]

Looks great. I wonder if it would easier without rubber gloves? Better sense of touch, and a little dust is fine.

[@gordon295]

I used one of these: > add a circuit mini blade / spade fuse holder < found on * bay ... Find a Fuse ( Driver side ) fuse box that only works with the key on ...and run the wire via a nice switch to the 2x DRL. By doing it that way there is no power going to the rear lights

[@MotoringBoxTV]

Also a good way!

They’re certainly easy those cable splitters. I just prefer to solder and heat shrink or electrical tape it because it looks factory and is 100% reliable. Looks super cool ! Hope they make some for the fg, although may not suit as well as it does the ole BA.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

IMO using wire splices and crush on connectors is for the average weekender, superior to soldering in automotive applications. Solder isn't really great when it ages and dries, and it's being shaken around all the time - I guess if you are a gun with the solder iron and know what solder to use to get the best results - but for a weekend shlob like me - like he says here I've been using them for 15 or more years now, never had one fail. One thing I would do in an application like this is wrap it to try to make it water resistant.

[@reeceeyles9924]

@@Beer_Dad1975 I’ve been building and bashing RC cars for years and have developed a good soldering ability which never lets me down, and I send my rc cars full speed off anything I can find 😂It’s true that If you’re new to using solder, chances are it won’t go very well at first.

Looks good, however what is the point of having headlights on and drls? Would be better to have them power off for night driving. Maybe instead of wiring to the parkers you could simply wire them to an ignition source with a switch that can turn them on/off at will. Great video still.

For some reason in SA it is illegal to run with fog lights on unless it is foggy. I have been warned twice after being pulled over at RBT stations

Same in Victoria... Have been told off for having them on when it isn't raining. I still run them all the time.

It depends on how bad of a day the cop had I guess. I believe in most states the rule is the same, you've just gotta be pretty unlucky to actually get done for it.

[@arokh72]

Doesn't seem like they offer them for Fairmont :(

[@michaeljenko3409]

Just wondering about roadworthy... I'm pretty sure DRL for daytime only, and then at night they either turn off when the headlights are on or they dim. So if you use your foggies at night to turn them off without fog that's also illegal... I know DRLs are too bright to use at night. Isn't there a way to wire them up so they run with the ignition and then turn off when the headlights are on? Just a thought...

[@DJBla2e01]

You can use one of those modules as he mentioned in the video to make them dim, or you could do what I did with mine initially; get a 30A SPDT relay, and wire it so it cuts power to the DRLs when the parkers or headlights are on.

[@alexanderbryden683]

@@DJBla2e01how did you do that process like could you explain it in a bit more detail?

[@DJBla2e01]

@@alexanderbryden683 Get a 30A SPDT horn relay from Jaycar, and get a relay socket while you're there; you can just use female spade connectors, but an actual socket will make removing and refitting the relay easier if needed. Then you wire pins 87a and 30 (can be either way around) to your ignition power and DRLs, and pins 85 and 86 (again, can be either way around) to your park light/headlight positive and negative, depending on when you want them to cut out. You could even take this a step further and make them dim by running pin 87 to the same DRL circuit with some resistors and diodes, but this is more complex and steps will vary for every brand and type of DRLs. I have mine dim when either the headlights or fog lights are turned on (also complex as diodes, resistors and extra wiring are required in my case), so if I have just the parkers on the DRLs will remain at full brightness; perfect to use on a rainy day or during sunset/sunrise, so I can save the headlights for when I actually need them.

Hooking them to your parkers is not a DRL, it's a parker light. DRL's are on whenever the car is on. Your dash can be in day mode, not forced into night mode because the parkers are on.
