mikeBF2TLS Member 32 Member For: 21y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 29/03/11 08:32 AM Share Posted 29/03/11 08:32 AM (edited) Have just installed Philips 8 spot DRL's on my G6ET. They are road legal in Australia, dim down when parker lights and upwards come on. Photos do not do total justice.They come on automatically however am in the process of using a manual overide switch to turn off when not required. The electrics with the unit will not allow for the lights to be on maximum output at night.They are super bright in daylight. 2 photos were taken with the park light on (& flash went off) consequently the dimmer was working at this time as well.

It's not a 4wd that needs spotties.

Is that a silk G6ET?I think they car speaks for itself with out the need for the extra lighting, 10/10 for creativity though.I just don`t think the ladies at my bowls club would appreciate it, as they are rather conservative.

kink Member 294 Member For: 16y 8m 8d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 29/03/11 01:06 PM Share Posted 29/03/11 01:06 PM I think it looks good. Would look better in real life, gives it a more euro look and sets it even more apart from the rest of the run of the mill cars. Good work mate, stuff what the others think, it is your car. And I will do it to mine when possible, maybe not the same but the DRLs are definitely a g6et part!

tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 11m 19d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 29/03/11 11:07 PM Share Posted 29/03/11 11:07 PM I can certainly see the merit in having them, I always have my headlights on when highway-driving during the day for that very reason. But the only thing is they clearly look like afterthoughts, if it could be integrated in to the bottom of the headlight then I'd say you're on to a winner...otherwise it just looks a bit Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74041-daytime-running-lights-for-ford/#findComment-1093001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
