[Guest Liam225]

Thanks

No, you don't need DRL.

But they are a good idea. I have them and I am sure they help people see you coming (and believe me Ozzie drivers need all the help they can get!).

There are loads of regulations concerning DRL's such as spacing and distance from other lights and what they must and must not do when they and other lights are switched on.

 

Best consider as a mod for after IVA and then refer to them as a auxiliary or work light.

 

I'm just about to fit a pair of puddle lights to the front of the MX5 so sick of standing in a puddle (not oil or coolant) that collects in front of the car!

I just ran my DRLs through a 'Normally ON' relay with a feed from the sidelights to trigger the relay to OFF when the lights come on.

Mine were done post iva and run them as the sidelights wired into the ignition and MOT man has always been happy and even stating it was a great idea.

Perfect thanks for the help.

My kit just passed mot with drls, wired through a relay so they cannot come on with dipped or main. Mot guy wasn't bothered by them
