More LED

So yes i know my moose is rather old today and in comparison with the new cars coming out of the factory today and the techhy stuff that's fitted in this newbies, definitely i cant compare.

So in making her feeling abit younger of trying to add abit more new era stuff if you may.

Ever since LED lighting became popular in the automotive industry i began being more fond of it as well.

I started by getting the H7 Xenon conversion kit and adding Phillips LED bulps to it as well.

I always see new cars fitted with DRL. Day Riding/Driving Lights in other words. This is actually popular or standard in countries that snow to help other driving looking at your car.

In Malaysia today its equally popular as well. Some cames standard or you can always purchase an after market one.

I could not help myself by getting a pair for my moose as well.

These are not branded and YES its from the motherland of imitation parts...China. Learning more about parts from China, i soon understood that even this "fake" stuff if you may have their grades as well and the quality aint that bad. So the above cost me a total of RM170 which is not that bad seeing the warranty that comes with it and the finishing of it. Just for your knowledge, a Phillips 4 LED would cost RM 550 :)

This DRL comes with 9 LEDs in a reflective enclosure which will generate better light quality. The quality of the LEDs as well are of good standards...good in a way that i go abit blind by looking directly into them for a few seconds. It comes with all the needed wires and sockets for easy fitment. No wires to cut or splice which i like.

Based on the length of the DRL, the only suitable place would be just below the number plate. My initial plan was to fit them just above or below the fog lights which is a bit tight and decided not to. Any other location would require cutting the bumper which of course im not happy about. 

After the fitment, they actually look awesome. Its not too high up that will glare onlookers, but does the job as well. They have been wired to the ACC power source, which means if the key is on the ACC position, it will lit up. Another way of doing this is to wire it up to your headlamps, but that means only when your lights are on they will come on as well.

End results are awesome...

So with this in ending year 2013...(the mod was done just a few days before new year)..hopefully 2014 will be really bright.... :)
