Snerlo's R36 DRL Mk2 Installation

[Jakeys]

The quality on those CC ones looks better, lens is nicer and the LED's (Mainly the indicators) are far better designed. But yeah, not at all workable on the R36.

The pictures look good. Once they're received and installed I'll come back with some feedback. Might also do a walkthrough for installation, seems there are a few people asking questions.

I have these ones now. They're pretty terrible. http://s.aliexpress.com/QbA3Mf6J

I've found some cracks in the lens of one of the DRLs and they've turned so damn yellow..

If you put a clear lamin-x sheet over the lens from new would that protect them better from the sun?

Good question. I'm not too sure. I feel like it would need to be some sort of clear UV resistant/protective layer/laminant. Maybe there's a spray on like sunscreen I'll check it out and report back. Great suggestion mate

Hmmm I wonder how that would last outside with rain and such?

Well I came across Chris Fix on YouTube and in particular, this video - https://youtu.be/F8whjrksd0I

He uses a clear UV spray on type application that is supposed to protect the light and keep it in good condition. Worth a try I guess.

Ya that looks like it'll do the job. Why don't you test it out and report back to us... in oh say 2 years

Received my new DRL lights. First inspection would suggest they are much better quality than what I currently have installed.

I believe these ones don't actually require a 12v power source, instead use the standard indicator loom for DRL power. I'll do some testing. The ACC line runs from the positive parker wire to dim when headlights are on. Very assumptive of me, I'll be sure to post my findings.

And to add to that, these come with inline resistors installed into the assembly. I've searched high and low for these heat sink mounts as I think they're bloody awesome. Anyone know what they're called?
