Dull DRLs

Post by SpiketheBike » Thu Nov 12, 2015 12:19 am

My DRLs seem to be a rather dull yellow colour. Is this normal?
Is there some sort of upgrade I can fit to make them brighter?

It's normal on pre LCI models.

You can code the car and increase the brightness on them or buy some LED angel eyes.

I tried Lux LEDs but found them lacking in daylight conditions, just a little too weak. I have since swapped to MTEC H8 bulbs and coded them to run at 13V.

I bought some 80w led H8's

Look great and Re nice and bright in all conditions..
Well worth the upgrade and 2 minutes a side to change
