Kizashi DRL
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2012 5:36 pm
Hi,
I saw the thread about the nice led-strip DRL here but unfortunately, that's not usable in the EU due to regulations. You can only use lights which have the 'RL' mark. So I did a bit of research and found lights which can be fitted on the kizzy without messing up the painted parts of the bumper. It's still tricky because it seems the bumper is shaped in a way to make adding any DRL difficult. Most of them are too long or bent in a wrong way.
But I found one which can be used. It's not perfect, but it works and saves the HIDs from unnecessarily being used during the day.
So here's the first attempt.

it still needs a bit polishing to fix the details but I think it's pretty usable and serves the purpose. The reason the lights are a bit tilted is to prevent them shining sideways.
The lights are these Dectane LGX23

Btw. to get them there it's necessary to get the front bumper removed, so I'm not sure if this is fully "DIY" stuff (I got it done with the help of the local suzuki dealer), but I couldn't find a better category for this post.
