Since November 20 and came into force a law that need to constantly drive with low beam and the reluctance to manually change the brightness Highlighter tidy and the monitor, I decided to put the DRL firm Philips.

My choice fell on them, because they enjoyed my friend and also advised them to put, besides they are bright enough and in general I like the quality of products of this company.

Different offices, such as Infinity Parts, in-tuning and many others offer the installation of lighting. Having studied the pictures and prices, came to the conclusion that better to buy from someone in the service supply.
This is a cheaper option, and then establish how all these offices, more precisely where I was not happy. Let me explain why:
DRL lamps are placed near protivotumanok (one on each side) option is good because it looks harmonious and beautiful, but there is one big minus. From the driver's side this lamp covers distronik. For European dates, it may not be very fundamentally, since enjoyed the cruise, many rare or even once in a lifetime, and then see what it is and how it works. But for my Tamarind distronik is far more important than distance determines when the cruise.

Since I had driven home date with America, I have to distroniku summed extra features and it works for me constantly, not only with the cruise control. Therefore, this option was dropped immediately.

After thinking a bit, decided to put directly under the room, and separate them a little from each other, to a partition. Originally, I wanted to put them on the bottom shelf, but tie them back very hard, so decided to put lights directly under the number.

Fixing them is simple, first metal bracket attached to the place where the planned supply DRL, fixed with screws. Then threaded through this fixture wire from the lamp and then inserted into the lamp.
The wires were put on the inside, above the lamp and secured with clamps. For mounting clamps, were made small holes in the bumper, which are not visible until prismotrishsya to how to set the lamp.

Further, the wire lent to harness that goes to the battery (they are parallel with the standard wiring harness). To block with fuses neatly attached starter for DRL (mounted on double-sided adhesive tape, a buyout was included) and connects the whole thing to the battery. Just from the starter is the orange wire, which was supposed to connect to the dim light, that would at the passing DRL turned off, but I wanted to burn constantly, so that the wire I will not connect.

The result pleased to have one small disadvantage, which I frankly do not care. This disadvantage is that the lights that shine is not straight and not down a little bit up (due to a bumper designs). When you stand during the day or night and is only the light of day, then he is blind (a person). Ie My light shines on the short-range.

That's like me, they shine:
