DRL modules installed
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2016 2:41 pm
Hey guys,
As most of you know Duncho has made modules for the start/stop system and DRL's.
I ordered a set of DRL modules and they came after just a couple of days nicely packaged and Duncho emailed me the instructions.
There are 2 options when connecting the modules - DRLs off when indicating or dim when indicating ( they only do this when the light switch is in the 'off' or 'auto' position)
I opted for the 'off' solution as this, in my opinion, gives the best visibility of the indicators.
So the question was, how do I connect them? Solder or waterproof connectors. Soldering is not something I have done before but it also gives the best connection (if done right)
I watched a few clips on Youtube to see how it was done then made a few practice joints on a piece of cable. It wasn't going totally wrong during practice so I went with that solution.
The modules were 80% fitted after a couple of hours, but I was missing a connector block in the fuse box area to connect the wires that activate the left and right modules.
I ran out of time that day so I left it a few days until I had time. I decided to run the wires direct to the left and right indicators and made the connections a few cm's from the indicator holders.
Everything now works as intended and thanks to Duncho for the modules and email helpdesk
Here is a couple of pictures and a little video of them in action.
