Newly Installed Philips LED Daytime Running Lights

Just installed Philips LED Daytime Running lights.
I have tried a few of them but I am very satified with Philips Brand.
Here are the photos:

With the parking lights on, brightness is 50% dimmer.
LED lights turn off or on by itself when engine is running or stop.

1 Heineken = 2 hours

6 Heineken = 6 hours + repairs to the bumper

Is the wiring & routing pretty straightforward? I might be interested in this.

Yes, It is up to you route the wiring harness (tie wraps) neatly and out of sight. (hidden them)


The fog light cover need to drill 2 holes each to mount the LED bracket.
For driver side, I routed the wiring up to the grill and cross over to the passenger side
For the passenger side, I routed up to windshield reservoir from the bottom
The positve and negative terminals connected to the jumper posts. The third wire(+) for dimming, I connected to the left front parking light positive wire.
For the control box, I mounted to the bracket above the air compressor (passenger side).
