You can also use Forscan and set value 726-50-01 from 108E to new value 017F.No error on dash if you remove the connector from the bulb
The OEM-DRL's in the foglights will be off.

Unless they have fixed it since I fitted mine the colours for parking light and DRL are wrong on the DD instructions. By that I mean the colours going to the driver are reversed. I have told them about this a while ago.
You can disconnect the original DRLs and it will not bring up any warning light on the dash, but it does log a fault code. See the link below.

@00racer GT Coloured DRL install
A quick vid of @00racer GT Mustang that we put Colored DRL's in yesterday. Quality of vid is not great as was from phone but still gets the effect across. Also, I was impressed with the stock exhaust note! Thanks @Kaps for your help mate! And thank you to Dean at Arnold's Automotive Service Nerang for use of your workshop and your work removing the bumper!!!

Keyhole Method
I installed my DD DRL lights this week. I used a multi purpose tool aka Renovator, with a semi circular saw blade attachment. The cutting and LED light installation was very easy. The most time consuming activity was removing the headlights from the car. My original plan was to make the installation appear invisible by plastic welding, body filling, fine sanding and painting the base of the light housing satin black. However I decided to reseal the cut out plate with black silicone in the event that I may need to re enter the headlight at a later stage (an access window). I ran the wires out of the headlight through a blank rubber grommet in the centre of the plate only because of my original (invisible) plan. You would be better to just rebate say 10mm by 2mm out of the side of the plate and have the wires come through that. I removed the big grey cap from the main headlight globe and vacuumed from where I cut out to provide airflow whilst smacking the headlight. The renovator produced very little shavings. If you go through the hassle of removing the headlights, the rest is a piece of cake. I include a picture of the tools I used (upside down). Thank to the pioneers such as Banditvox and Gnome.

Is there a potential problem with the cops having 2 sets of DRL's operating?

I disconnected the original DRLs. Taped up and siliconed the globes in the bumper and tied back the wire connector up along side the other wires. I actually tapped into the original DRL negative wire to earth the new ones.
The 18 models are apparently coming with the tribars illuminated as DRLs.

I am thinking of ordering the white/Amber kit: http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/...tang-switchback-drl-led-boards/category/1474/
What happens to the current "DRL"s (The fog lights) in this installation?
Are they deleted as well or will they turn on only if I turn on the fog lights?
Just trying to understand if I should order these as well:

EU\AU DRLs and fog lights have two different bulbs (or 'globes' as you guys say
). When installing the drl led boards my advice is to disconnect the stock ugly drls, so after that you only have the new led drls working.Fog lights will remain operational, so if you want, you can replace those bulbs as well with the ones you linked, or with something else.
