Couldn't agree more.



Seriously, it looks quite straight forward, not a complicated task at all. The only important thing is to remember to remove the two "hidden" bolts that attach to the guard.

Hi mate can you please post a pic of that hidden bolts please.

Thanks

does any one know the exact reason why we are not getting them in your headlights? considering the new falcon and focus have them in their headlights and other manufacturers also have LED DRL....

Some european law regarding the visibility of the drls at certain angles from the side on view of the car. Therefore they have been changed for the european market and we cop the same headlights because its cheaper to make them all the same.

Or that is my understanding so far.

That's also what I've had understand.

But now I've the LED Boards of Diode Dynamics installed on my car (more or less the same power as the LEDs in the US version) and they are definitely not bright enough to drive with them as DRL.

With a big sun, you can't notice if they are on/off. To drive with them on, you need dark weather or drive by night

Maybe is that also a good reason why they removed it from the EU version ? :shrug:

On the picture above, the light in the EU/AU picture are the Parking lights ...

EU (and AU I think) DRL's are this :

First time I have seen the bottom lights on to be honest. Can someone with an Australian delivered car confirm?

If you follow the UK section, they also have the DRL in the fog lights ...

I fired up the DD LEDs today to see how bright they are. THEY ARE @$^#ing BRIGHT.

You can lower the brightness with the remote control that comes with it, which I think may be why some people have reported dim lights.

The bottom light has two globes in our cars, one is the DRL and the second is a fog light.

Yeah looks like I understood it wrong, when the headlights are off the fogs are on. I dont follow the UK section, and I guess I retained info from months ago when we were originally trying to workout which lights were intended to be the DRL's.


Either way, Id rather the Tribar DRL's fixed on my vehicle

Thanks! yeah I guess I completely missed that info.

Now I am really confused. Caniggia and some others have said the Diode Dynamics led boards are not bright enough to be DRLs. Caniggia adds extra leds to the board to make them brighter, but has a feature on them so that you can also go back to standard brightness. Then DD told me that they would be working on a new board with the same feature that also has brighter leds so we can use them as DRLs on full brightness and then a lower setting that could be used as a parking light.

This would be the perfect solution, but seems they forgot about it from a recent PM and they told me they will remind the engineering guys to have a look at it.:frusty:

But from what you have seen you think the ones you have from DD may already be bright enough to use as a DRL?

Did you fit them into the headlight or just sitting on the bench, maybe behind the white plastic they lose a bit of brightness?

 

[John577]

They are DEFINITELY not bright enough ! And the new version they are working on is still not available, so the version FrozenPea have in his hands should be the first version DD was selling.

When you light they up on a desk they seem to be bright but in headlights they are not bright !

[MENTION=19128]Gnome[/MENTION], the link you posted about Caniggia's mod, it was not to made the boards brighter, he simply add the sequential turn fonction to the Boards (that's the boards I have on my car).

See here the difference between DD LED's and Caniggia's LED : http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1008111&postcount=140

Caniggia's LEDs are much brighter !

Thanks for the info he did mention that he has dual brightness DRL / Parking light in that post, which is what I am looking for. Have the bright setting for drl and the low setting for parking light. This way the tri bar will also light up when you open the car and also stay on for a while when you lock it, just like the US spec cars.


Caniggia and Diode Dynamics seem to be the only players in this game at the moment so I guess I have to wait until one of them has some ready, or wait for a new player to join this game.

Driver i mean is made like yours boards, on automats, not hand made.
Custom, because I designed them. They are current control pwm drivers with temperature control,, adjustable current , 2 channels for drl and parking, step up.
I use one big radiator per section.
I dont have photos since i dont sell them.
But here is photo how i added radiators and leds to your boards
