New headlights, fog lights, bumper and bonnet DRLs fitted.

[The Flying Scotsman]

I’ve gone from sh1te to bright
Finally got all my light upgrades fitted and working.
I’ve fitted THQ V3 all black limited edition headlights. I really like the very dark look they have and think they work well with the purple.
I got the upgraded LED main beam bulbs and the night breaker full beam bulbs.
A huge difference from the H4’s.
I also fitted a fog light kit with upgraded bulbs as my startline doesn’t have them as standard.
I bought bumper mounted DRLs but had to cut them into the startline bumper as it’s one piece and the lower grill is not interchangeable.
They need a slight adjustment before I seal them in. But waiting for a dry day. I’m pleased with the finish.
I also fitted the under bonnet DRL strip.
I’m delighted with it all.
I’ve taken some before and after pics.
The bonnet DRL has a cool night rider start up sequence

Thanks. I’ve still got some goodies left to fit Wayne
I’ve got front and rear mudflaps to fit and the black vinyl external pillar kit
I’ve nearly finished installing my new pioneer head unit.

It was another member on here who posted them up originally but I can’t find that thread. He posted a video clip of the night rider start up sequence.
I’m sure thread was called not bad for under £12
Here’s a link to the DRL.
Order the 1.8m
TBH I think a 2m would be the perfect length as this one stops about 100mm short of the edge of the bonnet each side. But 1.8m is the biggest one of this kind.
It’s a dodle to fit.
Just clean the underside of the bonnet lip first. It’s self adhesive.
I used a piggy back fuse for an ignition live but could only find fuses that powered up with ignition but held power for about 30 secs after the key is removed.
Other wires an earth.

Once mines had a bath and the sky has stopped continually leaking I have this to fit, 1.8m same as yours, mine was free though! Via Santa naturally! I'm still looking for that start up sequence link....

Gives a good idea of installation, if you can put up with 2 septic tanks installing one on a fat Audi!

Found a 2m long one that’s appears to be a bits fancier.

Mine are wired on my 6.1 as follows

It’s wired as follows using simple resistors:

• footwell light feed
• so when unlocked it goes on.
• When locked it goes off
• ignition feed
• When ignition goes on it comes on
• When ignition goes off it goes off

Doing it that way gives me it on from moment i unlock to when i lock.

That's the way to do it! Thanks Sam.
Did you stick on the underside of the bonnet or topside of grille?

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

Under the bonnet lip is the way to go. Just power it up before you fit it because one edge of the strip is brighter than the other so you want the brighter edge on the outside.
Both edges have adhesive strips. I kept the wires at the battery side.

 

[archersam]

On the bonnet. It takes a bit of placing to get it as you want as it can either be on show or illuminating the area from.

Likewise my wires go to the battery side. Wasn’t aware one side was brighter than the other however wasn’t going to trial wires across the engine bay

 

[archersam]

Got one for the rear though not fully installed yet.
