Day time running lights

I just got my unit to day that will turn the direction signals into DRL. I think it will look cool with the blinker lights shining brighter than the DRL head light. I will try to get a pic after installing them.

couldn't you just turn on your parking lights to acheive the same effect?

For DRL systems that use the turn signal lights to be effective, they must use the higher wattage filament (as what is used when the turn signals are on.) Just using the parking lights during daylight doesn't really do anything to aid visibility of your car to others... Unless it is really cloudy. digger - perhaps you could check into turn signal DRL kit that these guys offer. Install that bad boy, disconnect the stock DRL setup and you're good to go. I'd so love to add this kit to my new car, I think it would look really good but I just can't mod the sucker. Bummer, I miss DRL's!

I did get my unit from web-electric. I got it in tonight. As soon as I get it cleaned up I will post some pics. The hardest part was removing the battery to get to the turn light. Even then it was hard to get to.

Cool! I can't wait to see it. How's the service through them?THey have some interesting products, of course the DRL kit, but also that third brake light pulser has stirred up some interest... I'm sick of people not noticing me stop, that thing should get their attention. lol!Pics, pics, pics of the amber DRL's when you get them going man!

The service from then is tops. I would buy from them in a heart beat. Here is the pic. It is not a good one but best I can do with my phone on a very bright day.
