Day time running lights

Postby Mulysa » Tue Jul 09, 2013 10:44 pm

Has anyone any experience of adapting or replacing their fog lights for day time running lights? I really want DLR's but do no want to add any more lights and I nver use my fog lights anyway.
Any advice welcome
Mine is an 08 1.5dCi Dynamique

In the EU it is not permitted to use fog lights as DRL. If you replace the fogs, then the replacement lights may still be mistaken for fogs, and you will get pulled. Just drive with dipped lights on, if you want to be more visible.
