I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on:
Flying Miata offer a DRL kit that utilises the turn/park functions of the car whereby you have a dual element LED which acts as a DRL and also as the turn signal.
My questions are : does anyone know where to source this, or similar, in the UK and does the owners club organise group buys if there is enough demand?
Hi, you can get a similar kit for pennies (£15 or less) that replaces our indicator bulbs with Switchback LEDs that can be both white and orange, and the white automatically turns off when orange is on, then back on after a sec.
I have these in my car front and rear (for extra reverse lights) and they’re great. Minimal crimp wiring required with a cheap relay (literally a few minutes and £20 in parts + tools or less) and look at the result:
This is what the kit looks like, any W21W or T20 kit should fit:
Yeah same here, they are very obviously aftermarket but they don’t seem to care for MOT. I’ve even heard they allow LED headlight bulb replacements fairly often!
This is a pretty common NC mod and I’ve never heard of anyone having an issue. Worst comes to worst, the connectors for DRL on the kit can be unplugged and an indicator swapped back in once a year. You don’t even need to jack the car up, just turn the wheel for each side.
Will be writing all about my custom headlight conversion when I carry it out. Waiting for some LED PCB modules and projector lenses to arrive
