Daytime running light install
Hello all. Normally I drive with my low beam lights on to improve visibility. However this draws too much power which could be better used to charge my auxiliary battery/s. LED lights have a more Chrisp / clear output of light and draw less power.
I wanted to purchase a round LED daytime running light with a 100mm diameter so that I could mount them on my ARB deluxe bar as I don’t have fog lights. I couldn’t locate any and so I had my eye on these, they are at the bottom of the page- part number 84DTRM:

Repco is the re-seller and cost $225 including over-night postage. They come with a 5 year warranty and the construction is good. They comply with ADR rules 13/00 & 76/00. They have one earth (brown wire) and two positive wires, one for when you turn the IGN on (black wire) and a grey wire that connects to your low beam. So when the IGN is on, so are the lights. When you turn your low beam on they turn off.
I have used double sided black mounting foam that appears to hold up well with vibration and heat. The lights come with mounting brackets but I think this was a better solution so far. Time will tell but at the end of the day I like it.
