Yep safetycar. Grate name man. Yes DRL's. My 2011 Honda Accord Euro is not a luxury model so have no fog lights. so if i can utlize the empty plastic fill in where the fog lights would be or other would be grate.

You telling moi, that you struggle to see 1 ton+ piece of metal moving towards you at 110km when its Day walker time?

I kid to help you out.

I know they sell LED Strips that u can stick on top of the headlight

Something like this. (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x45cm-Switchback-Tube-Headlight-LED-Strip-Run-DRL-Daytime-Light-For-Audi-Style-/301144127403?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item461d96b7ab)

I find led driving lights more bright and annoying than low beams during the day.

YER but i want somthing that switches on when you start the car. May be DRLs will wake you up on the road especially in the country where i live.!

Maybe get the Phillips DRL 4, easy DIY install and it switches on when the car starts, auto off when headlights come on or when engine is off. Phillips DRL 8 dims the DRL when head lights come on.

Just leave the normal low beam lights on all the time. Volvo has been doing them for years.

lolz, ok, I can see your images, but not EKVTIR-T's post or curtis265's quoted one (using Google Chrome on a PC).

I actually wanted to see the asthetics of Lozer's Euro with the DRLs installed.

Nobody has done it because nobody here likes aftermarket DRL... they look feral, which seems to be the taste of a good few 86 owners from what i can see.

In future, when driving in the country turn on your lights like everyone else does.

If not having lights bugs you, a very OEM looking solution is to find a DRL module and have that installed. It will power your high beam bulbs at half power when the car is being driven, and turn off when you put your low beams on
