Hi all
I have a corsa B and was looking at installing some day light running lights (DRLs) like the ones on Audis. This is for styling as well as for safety. I was thinking, how do I wire them up? Can I do them to the battery directly so they are always on? or if i want a switch how would i wire it? can anyone help me please? Thanks

Re: Day light running lights
My other car is a Toyota and I used my existing fog light housing to make and use my own DRL's. Here is my install with pics http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/ ... &p=1050751 if anyone is interested. Can obvioulsy be adapted to a Corsa if you have fog lights.........

Re: Day light running lights
I've done this on other cars where the cigarette lighter turns off with the ignition, so if a corsa is the same then your best bet is to wire it to the cigarette lighter so your DRLs will turn on with the ignition. Or you could wire them straight to the 12v ignition cable. This way you can have your DRLs on without needing to have the side lights on.
