Snerlo's R36 DRL Mk2 Installation

[snerlo]

I see that you hooked the dim operation up to the xenons rather than the parkers. Nice work. Which wire did you tap if you don't mind me asking? I wasn't game mucking around with them as I have heard that there is some serious voltage in that region so I didn't want to upset the applecart!!

I tapped the thicker cable which feeds the ballast. Given its going to a relay I figured the worst that could happen would be I'd kill the relay, nothing in the light assembly itself.

Seems to be working fine.

Here's the link to where i got mine.
NEW arrival VW R36 led drl daytime running light super bright with dimmer function and yellow turn light function-in Daytime Running Lights from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Thanks Snerlo.

On that page one of the options is for Emitting Colour, with either green or red to be selected. I don't understand the choice. What does it mean and which is the best option?

[kamold]

Red. This one dims the drls by 50% when headlights or parkers are on.
Green just turns the drls off instead.

[Netrover]

Great. I'll go for the red option.

Thanks.

[snerlo]

Kamold has hit it on the head. Yeah, i presume most will go for the dimming option

I dont want to should stupid, but having never used Alibaba, what have you found the best way to pay for things is? I cant use paypal on there. Sorry to Hijack the thread, but seing as a lot of you guys are familiar with it I thought id ask.

Thanks.

[kamold]

Just use your CC. It's annoying they don't accept PayPal but I've never had an issue using my Visa on there.

[JB's Dub]

Perfect, thanks, there is so much Passat gear on there cheap! My CC is going to cop a flogging after Xmas!

I am first to admit I have a bit of an aliexpress addiction...
