#1: daytime running lights... Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 6:43 am ---- Hi all.
Hope every one had a good xmas.
I was wondering if anyone has fitting DRL on a 206. I found some LED strip ones, and want to fit them to either under the headlights or under the grill.
Wondering if anyone knows how to wire them in. I dont want to wire them into the side lights.
Any help would be welcome.
Abdul

The real DRL cluster just looks so much better
#3: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 6:56 am ---- LED strips are the new Lexus lights.
#4: Re: daytime running lights... Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:02 am ---- I dont want to change my headlight tho.
A friend said to me that i could run them off the ignition...
#5: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:17 am ---- Yeah you would be able to run them off the ignition quite easily. Splicing from the sidelight wiring is your best bet...
Just be careful not to go OTT with the LED's though because is is a slippery slope into the chavvy mire if you arent careful!
#6: Re: daytime running lights... Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:25 am ---- thank you howey. yh i dont want to look chavvy so i will have to be careful how would i run them off ignition? where would i find the wired for this?
#7: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:46 am ---- Just take a splice from your sidelight wiring
#8: Re: daytime running lights... Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:46 am ---- DRL's
The new Lexus rear lights
#9: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:49 am ---- I think if they are done right then they can look quite business like imo.
#10: Re: daytime running lights... Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:50 am ---- There is a daytime running lights setting in the BSI configuration set up

how do u mean? so they run as side lights?
sorry if i sound silly, but im jus unsure
#12: Re: daytime running lights... Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 7:59 am ---- See if you can find someone local with Peugeot Planet software.
Turn the daytime running light setting from " Absent " to " Present " in your BSI configuration set up.
Then start the car up & see what lights come on with the engine running.

I didnt realise 206's had the option, thats useful to know

#15: Re: daytime running lights... Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 8:08 am ---- Might be a good test if someone with PPS & a multiplexed 206 gives it a try?

You will most likely find they:
Will have no idea about DRL's as its not UK standard spec.
Wont change the setting in the BSI configuration from the standard settings it rolled of the production line with.

EU forcing new cars to have them fitted is bad enough, just watch the death rates for cyclists, motorcyclists & pedestrians go up in the near future.
#21: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 11:03 am ---- They need them from next year don't they?
#22: Re: daytime running lights... Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 11:06 am ---- Feb 2011 for DRL's

I didnt know about this, good to know. Now need to find someone with PPS now
#24: Re: daytime running lights... Author: GazRG, Location: Bournemouth/CardiffPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 12:19 pm ---- All it will be will be dipped headlights and associated lights (numberplate lights/sidelights/rear lights) on permanently
#25: Re: daytime running lights... Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 12:29 pm ---- I reckon it will be just the sidelight circuit powered up once the engine is running, no dipped headlights.
Only one way to find out, wait for someone to give there BSI a tweak & see
#26: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 1:00 pm ---- Just wire the LED's into a ignition feed, then they'll come on when the ignition is on. And if you want them to go off when the dipped beam, use a 5 pin relay in the circuit.
You can't activate DRLs on a non-plexed with PP, I'll have to collar Rich and have a go on his 180 to have a look

Do u have more information on where to find the ingnition feed and what 5pin relay would be best
#28: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 1:35 pm ---- Any ignition feed from the engine bay, fusebox, cabin loom would be sufficient.
Any 5 Pin 30/40amp automotive relay would do
Pin 30 = Goes to an ignition wire
Pin 85 = Would go to your positive feed on your dipped beam
Pin 86 = Would be your chassis earth
Pin 87 = would go to nothing
Pin 87a = Would go to your DRLs
#29: Re: daytime running lights... Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:46 pm ---- i have put the dlr strips inside my head lights and small ones above the grill. if look at pics of my car u will see wot i mean

It will be dipped headlights on permanently. Trust me.
Some countries have dipped headlights on all the time by law - eg some Scandinavian countries for example. This setting will be to make this legal.
In the computer system on my dad's Merc C250 CDI, the Daytime Running Lights option just puts the dipped headlights on whenever the engine is running.

I have seen some half decent attempts but I can never get past the fact that someone has basically stuck some LED's to the front of their car, it's just a bit... cheap.
I have the black DRL on my 180. People told me I can just save money and put the strips under my stock cluster but it just looks RICE to me.

The clusters look quite nice, expensive though at approx £200! I've got an X reg 206 the other week (yeah, bit old, but better than the Rreg Micra I had before that... lol) and was thinking of changing the headlights as it looks a bit naff, but I don't want to go down the chav route. What would you guys suggest for some (preferably not too expensive) headlights that look better than stock, but not chavvy? something to make hte car look a little more modern.
Thanks
#34: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 5:50 am ---- Just get some crystals then
#35: Re: daytime running lights... Author: Icetto, Location: Cape TownPosted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:01 am ---- Even normal crystals look a bit outdated. You could get those masked crystals
#36: Re: daytime running lights... Author: gibbs-, Location: LondonPosted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:05 am ---- Ok thanks, also where's the best place to buy headlights and things from? is it eBay or is there a decent priced shop/website? Thanks again

To late, you bought a 206
#38: Re: daytime running lights... Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 10:01 am ---- 206 isn't as chavvy as old Corsa or Saxo models in my area,206 is least common chavved up hatchback in my opinion.
