Daylight Running Lights
Hi all,
I have been thinking of fitting a set of daylight running lights to my 986, has anyone here done this and can recommend some (pics are always welcome) :) |
an easy thing to do is use the fog lights as DRLs
Its a 5 min install for the wiring and only costs a couple of $ I also swapped out the H-7 bulbs for LEDs ~ $40 on ebay 2X White Bulbs H7 Car Genuine CREE XB D LED Fog Light Lamps Headlight | eBay http://986forum.com/forums/performance-technical-chat/29961-daytime-running-lights-hack.html DRL-Fog Light Hack - 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S) - RennTech.org Forums If you want to add LED strip DRL, this is a nice package http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DX6BKW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3HC0 TWCL7KNZJ&coliid=I25UOME3IV8CIO |
The Litronics have a marker light. Comes on with parking lights. I just use those. Love the dim lit look of the headlight marker lamps. They stay on with the main headlights to make 2-tone.

New these were $3200 per side after a lady backed into me. You can find them on eBay all day long and many other sites including Pelican. Note. The 'Litronic' part means there's controls and parts that make the main lights self level. Some are just weighted or balance and are far less. Others will chime in on this. http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/a...pspm5ekziv.jpg http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps9imz9nyn.jpg |
How are these things wired in Canada, which has mandatory DRLs in all cars? Seems like they must have a simpler fix than fuse taps and jumper wires.
Canadians, can you comment? |
Simpler?
Not sure about that... but there is a double size dedicated DRL relay on the relay panel that illuminates all exterior lights while the car is running. The only thing my headlight switch does is turn on the gauge illumination. |
Here are my after market ones.

I just ran a jumper wire in the fuse panel (see DRL hack threads) to make my fog lights turn on with the ignition. I swapped out the fog light bulbs for DELs from ebay. Easy, cheap, and effective!

Thanks Dwight! :cheers:

I like the softer glow of the integrated CCFL... ;) |
LED Daytime Running Lights and add-on LED lighting for interior or exterior car use.
Also, think about the notion of "DRL Controller" Quote:
