  • Indicating DRL / LEDs

    Wanted to share what ive been upto the past few months,

    I bought a pack of 20 12v ambient LEDS lights from ebay, and a pack of 5 mini realys from banggoods
    and decided to make my DRL flash(indicate), like most new cars today.

    I followed http://www.ds3club.co.uk/showthread....fender+removed (Thanks to Eiken)
    and removed the DRLS, cleaned them up then tried rippng them apart which was the longest part of this project! in the end i ended up putting it in the over
    praising it open and kept repeating this until it finally come apart, took about a day too open both DRLs after that i cleaned out most of the old glue as i could

    then used a screw driver to make the holes, after my 5mm LEDs fitted nicely i glued them in, then started on the wiring,

    Components used..
    2x 1000uf 16v capacitor out of an old motherboard
    12x12v ambiant 5mm LEDs DC Bulbs Light MA438 H5 from ebay
    2x SONGLE Mini 12V DC Power Relay SRD-12VDC-SL-C PCB Type from banggoods
    2x 1N4004 diode(i think) from an old motherboard

    if i could go back and change something it would be the LEDS, you cannot see them in the daylight it just looks like an broken DRL lolz
    anyways i will sort that out sometime in the future. thanks
