Note: it seems sidelights and indicators are not allowed to be used as DRLs (apparently in EU, but we’re in UK)

Fitted DRL+Fog combination lights to NC - MX5Parts Vinstar kit

Fitting Vinstar DRLs in a 2008 NC After a top-down drive in the sun to Cliveden early last week and needing to put my lights on because the lanes were so dark with overhanging trees and the 4x4s coming the other way seemed to want all of the road, I’ve bitten the bullet and fitted the Vinstar kit from MX5Parts. The Fogs take 0.9A each, the DRLs 0.5A each from 12V on the bench, and dropping to a bit less as the volts rise to 14V when engine is running to maintain a constant current on the LEDs…
