With some rewiring and a DRL module, yeah, you could make them work. Although if you put in an LED H3 with equivalent light output, I bet most DRL modules will burn out with the current load. DRLs tend not to be quite that bright anyway...


Ach sounds like a lot of hassle. Was just curious, I'm not a fan of DRLs. Do you have a write up for sleepy eye mod?

Yeah it looks like people have left the christmas decorations out all year round. Jingle bells, jingle bells... every time I see them. lol what a fad.

Now if they were on the rear also they'd be semi useful.
