First of all, DRL's don't need a switch...they just come on with the car. Second, parking lights are about 1/3 as bright as the DRL's. Third, you don't have to have the rest of the lights on in order to have the front amber lights on (ie-marker lights, taillights, license plate lights, etc.)

There is 2 bulbs inside the front amber lights. When the DRL's are on, both of them are lit. When you have the parking lights on, only one of them is lit. Thats why the DRL's are so much better, cuz they are brighter, thus making people see you better......plus it looks cooler.

 

I know what drl's are, my car was equipped with them. I just don't understand why anyone would spend money or time to add what is basically a brighter side marker light that they can no longer shut off.

 

Thanks for the compliment. The fail-safe is my skinny *** crawling through the hatch if a fuse blows or the battery dies. All hell is gonna break loose when I get around to shaving the hatch key

 

Wow....I've never actually known of anyone that doesn't like the DRL's on our cars. This is a first.

 

Yeah, me too. Also, it's illegal in a lot of places to drive around with only your parking lights on.

 

Damn,

DRL's are the coolest thing when they are wired to the amber lights. I think all cars should do this instead of DRL's that power the regular headlights. Older saturns are especially annoying.

I guess it's the matter of personal opinion but I think they look badass and I am going to buy this kit. You can see the amber eyes glowing from a great distance and you want to see what kinda car it is. Corvettes and F-body's started this trend..however now i see buicks and new saturns doing it also. Hands down a great appearance mod!!!

Yes that is very true....I wonder why you can't do that....?

 

Probably because therir intended purpose is to let other drivers know that your vehicle is stationary, and not moving. That's just my thoughts, though.

 

That's a fairly logical guess.


That's pretty much how it worked...you would see those 2 bright *** amber spots way the hell down the road, and think to yourself "Is that an f-body or a vette..." Then of course you would find out which it was. Now, like vandelay101 said, a lot of other cars are doing it as well. Like the Cadillac CTS is a good example.

It's still pretty easy though to tell the difference between and f-body/vette, and another car. The reasoning is because the DRL's on our cars and vettes sit pretty low to the ground.

 

Yeah, isn't that web electric site the greatest? Before I came across that, I read a tutorial online about doing it yourself, changing the relays and what not. I didn't like it because it sounded too complicated and the end result wasn't too good IMO. Then, here came web electric and voila! Here's mine on pickup day back in march: http://www.basicintellects.com/~geo/DSCN0036.JPG

 

I like your intake...it makes the engine look alot better!

 

Thanks

 

I just wanted to give webelectricproducts props on the fast shipping, I ordered a DRL kit Friday and it was at my door today, and the guy was real responsive to emails.

 

thats wierd, my DRLs came like that stock on my 93, and many other birds in my area have them too.

 

Thats cause youre one of those crazy canadians. DRL's weren't on ours until 97, maybe 96
