The wait for DRLs begins

[Manders Mustang]

With a slight hangover, i drove my car 2 and a half hours down to Hayes to have my DRLs with sequentials fitted.

The current progress is the bumper is off and the lights are being split (:shocked.

However, the more interesting point is, I drove the car c120+Miles, with some spirited driving along the M40. Fresh tank of fuel from the start of the jorney and I managed the following:
39.1MPG, 67MPH average speed, started at 320 miles to E, ended at 386 Miles to E, covered c120+miles... Quite ridiculous really!!!

Anyway, I got to the installers, two rari's in the showroom (If knowledge serves me correctly, a 360 Spyder, and a FF), Fortis Auto's Mustang (with RGBW/Sequential lights) and a few other cars.

Here's some shots of what's to come !

Car looks hella weird without it's front bumper on...

Stevo, your on the money mate at the mo with all the stuff your doing so well done mate! I guarantee you as soon as we all see pics of final product the company thats doing will suddenly get loads more businesses. Really looking forward to seeing this. As mentioned to you before the interior of our cars and the exterior lighting can and should be so much better/improved. I'm really not a fan of Audis at all (bit like you with BMW) but their current lighting set up is pretty fecking cool, this going to look awesome MM!

[MENTION=13930]RobMJ[/MENTION] thank you pal, appreciate it

I honestly have nothing against BMWs, i'm a car nut, I just love ripping into beamers ;)! The audi's lights are incredible, i love them :lol: , they've done sequential the right way to make it work in Europe, Ford could do this by having 1 board split into 3 lights (Blackout areas), but, alas, their cars are built for the US and converted to work for Europe!

Just as of speaking to you, the Lights have been split in half, so the plastic transparent surface split from the grey housing!

Diode dynamics boards fitted tomorrow, and then working on the lighting

Consider the mods my xmas present to the stang ;)!

Update 3:

Boards are in the lights, they're being resealed - working at 1am, crikey!

They have the whole day tuesday testing them, but, a bit of both. I believe [MENTION=8211]stevec[/MENTION] is meeting me there, then, I think i'm heading to Oxford to show [MENTION=21114]Snorty[/MENTION] and then back home.

Plan is get there for about 4, hang around till 5ish (need to use some of their stuff to get some trim panels off for dipping), Taking the owners cars interior parts to be dipped by my guys as well, so need to do that, ;)!

I have a headlight like that

Forgot to ask are you spraying the chrome bits black inside the lights?

Looking forward to seeing them finished.

What's happening with the normal indicators (apologies if this is covered elsewhere)?
Would be quite cool if that whole unit was white rather than just the inner sidelight.

[MENTION=21522]Eclipsar[/MENTION] brave man! No i'm not, the chrome on them at least flows with my chrome pony . I'd sooner lose the orange crap reflectors, but they flow with the rear ones .
[MENTION=11298]Greg[/MENTION]_C you and me both
[MENTION=14613]SteveS[/MENTION] The current indicator will flash ONCE for everytime the sequentials sequence once (three times). But to be honest, I could have chose to have them always white, I could have chose to turn the stock DRLs off (But want them both).

Stock DRL's off you say with white tri bar in their place? Hmmmm. Didn't know that was the case. Must admit, losing the chrome inside the lights does appeal too.

You can have them off, or on. That goes for Stock Indicators, and Stock DRLs, however i've opted to keep both running. :cheers:

 

[Jimboy2]

Do you get a switch to turn them all off and to go back to stock?
