[eddy11]

how did you go about the LED's on the headlights?

 

[tothezenith]

Thanks lads.
@eddy if you know how to read schematics, wamboin23 put a post up here that I used. I also added in an extra switch between the '30' terminal and DRLs for manual over-ride off switch.
Another note is that the schematics has the 'on' at post '85' to headlights, however to be completely ADR compliant "DRL's must turn off when any other lights are turned on", you should run the feed off your park lights instead; so your DRLs turn off when your parkies turn on.
Alternatively, that ADR statement could be open to interpretation (i.e. it doesn't specifically state 'forward facing'), so you could still wire them to your headlights as per the original plan, but just disconnect your park light bulbs; as another ADR ruling is that a vehicle can only have one pair of forward facing park lights.

Probs more info than you were expecting ay
Yeah I research it a bit as I've heard a few people have been booked for incorrect wiring of DRLs.

I got the LEDs off of ebay for $10 and 2 relays from Jaycar for $6ea. pulled the front bumper off and LEDs are stuck to the bottom of the lights with doublesided tape.

While I was at it also did a bit of a service:
- engine, gearbox, diff, brake & clutch fluids
- oil and fuel filters
- O2 sensors
- Plugs & Leads (NGK Iridium plugs & Taylor 10.4mm leads)
