Daytime Running lights
Hey everyone I've had a cool idea to come up and I want to know if anyone has successfully done it. its for a 77 c10
I'm going to buy this headlight from Brother's Trucks. http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=EHL80TS As you can tell its the headlight and turn signal all in one eliminating the traditional turn signal for our trucks has anyone tried turning it into a daytime running light by chance? if you have do you have pictures, and tell me how you did it?

Re: Daytime Running lights
Sweet!! thanks man I was just on his ebay today and didn't even see those, just thought it'd be something different to do on our squares to make it more "retro" you could say.

appears to state the "LEDS are for off road use only" I'm not sure if in the US. it's the same DOT rules as CAN. does can't have a turn signal (might be) as close or closer then 100 mm don't think we could use it up here,thats why dodge vans etc wink at you turn signal goes on and headlight turns off

Re: Daytime Running lights
Yeah I'm not sure either but I mean I have my magnum and I have daytime running lights and there side by side almost, but I guess it's just something I'll have to test out I have a back up in case they are against the law, maybe I should ask some people I know in law enforcement might help clear up things too

Re: Daytime Running lights
I always thought about upgrading the headlights on my trucks too but just about every search i found on these types of lights there was almost always someone saying that they were illegal. Anything other then using them off road or on a show car would get you pulled and a nice new ticket from Barney Fife.

Re: Daytime Running lights
that lil light won't be that visable in tha day time..if you want DRL..jus get a driving like kit....wire tha non fused power wire to a 12 v keyed source & they on when you start tha truck..leave tha button in tha on position & forget it..as long as it has a harnes like tha one in tha kit..i got tha driving lights in my buick like that..
