Day Running lights

[Mazda Alloys]

Can anyone advise me of thier experience with fitting running led lights as seen on most of the manufactures new models, i really like the audi ones, I'm just worried of issue with a non standard retro fit? Any pics?

Cheers.

I'm more worried they look a bit chavvy when fitted as an addition.

If it's a whole aftermarket lamp setup, with them inside the light maybe....

If not, they look a bit naff. Sorry.

You're better off converting all of your stock lights (side, indicator, adaptive steering) to LED for a more modern look.

I think Mazda do official LED DRLs as an addon?

I don't think they look that chavvy, but £254 plus fitting does seem a bit steep...

Quite nice placement to be fair.

Maybe buy some chavvy ones and replicate the stock setup so they look factory?

Hi

In the Handbook it says that the Daytime Running lights should come on when you turn the engine on ? , i have set it to Auto and Off , but nothing ??,,i have to turn them on manually . Does any one have any ideas ?

When it gets dark , all lights come on in Auto mode , so no problem there

Many thanks

From the 2010 facelift onwards this is no longer the case on UK spec models

For anyone that is interested a PDF of the EU regulations relating to DRL's
