Day Time Running Lights

[marks]

On the few occasions I see a Mustang, 80% of them have their DRLs on. I know it seems intuitive during the day but they just look sooo bad. Change them or just switch your main lights on, please!

Why not buy a cheap switchback indicator/drl kit off eBay to tide you over until the full works? Cheap easy mod and a great improvement

Updated mine with the genuine (not cheap!!) FORD option. Very happy with them.

Not sure of the actual link, but I think I found them on the FORD UK web site and they were in the Mustang Accessory section.
Hope that helps..?

This is the current Ford offering https://shop.ford.co.uk/collections...s-for-replacement-of-factory-fitted-fog-lamps
Expensive at £229. I think there was a cheaper option from a Focus but cannot find it.
Why not just change the existing DRL bulb to LED much cheaper & look is much better than stock? I got mine from ProLEDlights in Netherlands but they dont seem to be in that line any more. It was difficult to get the holder out of the lamp but Manders put me right.

i'm rocking Coplus DRL + Fogs, had to tint them they were too bright! but now to the level of the headlight DRLs

Rewired mine to my DD Tribars and sidelights so they're on all the time instead, also deleted the fog and OEM DRL with it haha!

Did yours fit okay? I swapped out the old fog lights on my S550 for the Ford-Navco DRLs/fogs - but they don't fit. See pics - they leave a gap. (Ignore the chrome trims in pics - they fit perfectly on the exterior housing.) Old fogs were perfect fit. The new fogs screwed perfectly onto the three screw-holes and placement nipple - but just don't fill the hole completely (ooh er). I know you can adjust the angle of the bulb, but that doesn't fix the problem. I've heard of others with same experience - how was yours?

Hi. No issues with mine. They seem to fit well.

Thanks - could you post a picture with the light off?

Hi,

Photo attached. Just checked and there is a small gap. I guess it isn’t important as I think they are sealed units??

 

[Maoilearca]

Thanks. Yes, that makes 4 people I know with same problem - one of them who had them fitted by GT101! I'm not worried about the units, but about road spray and hose pipe water (when washing) getting through gap and onto the electrics behind.

Can you work something up with an O ring or sponge rubber. They are LED so wont get hot. They are sold for the purpose so should fit properly.
