Daytime Running Lights. (1 Viewer)

[Bubblyboy]

Hi all,
I've been considering fitting DRL's to my 2013 Ducato and have come across these on Ebay..

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Daytime-...cato-Boxer-Relay-Motorhome-White/251544240464


They seem quite popular and was wondering if anyone has them fitted or has any pro's or con's about DRL's please, these in particular or any other kits..

Any other suggestions re alternative DRL's or fitting advice would also be very welcome..

How about side lights?

@Techno fitted some. He did a thread about it.

We don't have side lights on our model Dave, its dipped headlights or nothing...

That's handy to know, I'll do a search for it, thanks DBK..

Some time since I did some but the ones which go in the fog light hole are easier to fit as you are not cutting a new hole just using the existing slots (you do have to cut but it is very easy). So down to your DIY skills and which you feel looks better.

I fitted a pair of these a couple of years ago. Easy enough to do but needed to take the nearside headlamp unit out to make the connections.
TIP test it all out before putting the headlamp unit back...........................

Incidentally these appear to be acceptable as an alternative in countries that insist you have your headlights on during the day.

Hi Camdoon,
I am going for the DRL's that sit in the recess's as they look pretty good and there is no cutting involved at all as the wire passes through the grill, however there will be 2 screw holes to drill to attach them to the bodywork... The whole process looks pretty straightforward, helped by a Youtube Vid outlining the whole process, start to finish, which was lucky for me..

Thanks Terry, yes the headlight removal seems the hardest part to do but luckily I found a brilliant Youtube vid that outlines everything Thanks for the tip too, I will definitely follow that advice!

I tried to fit them to my 2008 but it kept causing a problem with the computer and flagged a fault light on the dashboard something to do with canbus or something.
Gave up in the end

Why bother? It's just something else to go wrong that isn't needed. Aftermarket ones always look naff anyway. IMO

I'm glad to see that you added "IMO" to the end of your message....
