Solved LED DRL problem.

[shoalsgary]

I used $39 a pair high power LED switchback bulbs, replaced sockets with modified 3170 sockets, connected the brown wire from the new socket to hot wire from the running lights. MUCH brighter than the incandescent original, much cooler. And the DRL goes off while the signal is flashing. I also removed the rotten DRL lens.

Interesting!

Can people of average intelligence and auto electrical skills do this?

 

[shoalsgary]

Yes

How did you get the DRL lens out of the headlight housing?

Long nosed needle nose pliers. Broke them up daily and shook them out

A picture and or video of what it looks like would be cool.

If the site facilitated attachments, I would already have done that.

Posting pictures

It's not hard to post a picture. Right above the spot where you are typing are a bunch of boxes. 2nd set down and 4th from left is one with what looks like a picture frame with I guess a tree in it and next to it is what looks like a film. That is what you have to click on to insert an image or movie clip.
Done the picture but never the movie.

No boxes above where I’m typing on my iPhone

Posting on an Iphone

I posted that picture on my laptop but am doing this posting on my Iphone 7 and it looks exactly the same as when I did it on laptop, same boxes are above where I’m typing.
I will try posting the same picture and see if it works.



Just did it, works exactly the same.

I have an iPhone 7 and NO boxes!

I don’t know what would be different then. As soon as I hit Reply to Thread it comes up just like the picture but as soon as I start typing it zooms way up and it all disappears. You just have to zoom out and scroll screen around but it’s still all there.
Otherwise I have no idea. I’d do a screenshot but my home button is non functional so I can’t

I did a screen shot but there’s no way to attach it

Many of us on iPhones or iPad download Tapatalk. It is an app specifically geared toward forums. Handy icons that allow you to take photos, post them or add other attachments. Some of the items don't read well, especially when someone posts pictures in their garage. Overall, it makes reading, posting and replying very simple.

Thanks, Tim!

FYI Rob, our forum mediator emailed me back, after I contacted him about when opening Tapatalk I’d get a pop up error. Rob told me he had stopped the forum connection with Tapatalk, since he has cell phone ability built in now for the forum. I still use Tapatalk for posting, but notice I don’t usually receive new post notifications on Tapatalk when new post are posted on the forum. Still an easy way to post pictures, is with Tapatalk! And I think the forum mobil use is to small and hard to navigate on the screen of a cell phone!
