LED - DRL Stage 1 - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, 4.0 liter, 2005
All the time, these fireworks gave me no peace, for the life of me, I became addicted) as soon as I see it it turns me on) I can’t help but eat and drink ... of course it all started with Audi these diodes, it was just decoration, auto-details, but then somehow it began to enter into serial production and novelty, after which a function like DRL already appeared
DRL is a lighting system designed to better identify a car in traffic. During the day, a car with DRL can be seen better than a car with dipped beam. The dipped beam was designed for driving at night and to illuminate the road, not mark the car on it.
World experience shows that the use of DRL reduces accidents on the roads by at least 10%, and in most cases this figure is in the region of 25%.)
, then laws and decrees are issued in different countries and their regions on the necessary presence of this device, for example, I state the future fact:
"The use of daytime running lights is becoming increasingly important in Europe and overseas. The benefits of such lights have already been noted not only by automobile associations and ordinary drivers, but also by transport ministries. Since February 2011, all new vehicles (commercial vehicles - from mid-2012) must be equipped with dedicated daytime running lights at the factory.Since commercial vehicle manufacturers began equipping their vehicles with daytime running lights, the motivation to install this equipment on all vehicles has increased."
What is LED?
An LED is a semiconductor device that converts electrical current directly into light. In English, the LED is called light emitting diode, or LED.)
(Who is interested in diving headlong into what LED is and everything connected with it, find out the answers to the most obsessive questions like:
-What does LED consist of?
-How does LED work?
-What is LED good for ? -What is LED
bad for?
and so on . www.ledlight.com.ua/led.html )
so DRL data entered our world under a mass character, but after they began to be put on Mercedes-Benz in large quantities, starting from the 2009-2010 models, I began to hand over) especially when the updated W221 bodies appeared in the city
later a new E-Klasse W212W207 appeared, the layout of its DRL was already more original
and then other cars… of course, I won’t say that at the moment there are a lot of these, basically DRLs are like Stock, and few people upgrade with their own hands, but there’s not enough there… I haven’t seen a single example in my city… I don’t want to be an upstart and say something like "I'm the first", but I just want to install them, so that it would be more pleasant for myself, the car looked prettier (this is of course a matter of taste, many may not approve of my idea with their taste) but nevertheless I want to finish this business) I want to install a DRL for myself, many, as they can put it, have diodes in the headlights at 120x) but I don’t perceive them at all) this is a cheap, barely breathing breed for a diode) and even more so angel eyes ... DRL is better than angel eyes ...
Then I somehow started to drip on this topic, drove to an electrician, discussed this matter, agreed, the conclusion was simple) we need diodes and abarding for them) installation and adjustment will be everything) about the place on the car also discussed chose a place under the fog lights, why? first of all, where else? if not there, in the grate below the radiator i.e. on the sides of the number?)) ummmm barn option is nothing ... higher? between PTF and basic? umm) uzhs) yes, and a little high, in fact, a great option instead of PTF — but I can not make such sacrifices, unfortunately, PTF on the Prado — it's a thing! essential thing! so I chose a PTF below, and it will look good, it will shine, it will hold up well, and it will not look gaudy, it will not be a Christmas tree … although someone like a master master!
Right there on one of the sites of representatives of LED DRL - Philips tried on by eye how it would look.
(For those who want to try this on their car, here is the link led-drl.co.uk/look.php )
I will say but! here they offer a completely DRL headlight and I will make it from individual diodes in the amount of 5 pieces per side, + many people may not like the view right now (actually like me) because this is, firstly, not a live, but a cheap electronic version, made in less than 1 minute, + its efficiency is small… live everything is different + with other layout structures.
For myself, I chose the Hella LED DRL product series "010 458" model LEDayFlex model 5x2 (i.e. five eyes per side) (link to product
link 1 off-road-light.ru/index.p…=com_virtuemart&Itemid= 64
link 2 www.hella-russia.ru/Drive…ckers/LEDayFlex_24V.shtml
link 3 www.hella-russia.ru/Company/News/LEDayFlex.shtml )
Umm why Hella LEDayFlex?! Well, probably because it is the only product of its kind, the quality of the brand as well as its efficiency and reliability.
Benefits of the new LED daytime running lights
• High efficiency Golden Dragon LEDs for better light output
• Low power consumption of 5.8 watts in daytime running light mode and 0.6 watts in parking light mode
• Stylish design
• Robust housing
• Multiple installation options
• Easy to install
• Specially designed wiring harness (for retrofitting)
• ECE approved
• Ability to work with different voltages (12V and 24V)
Here is an example of the operation of LED DRL on the video, I want to achieve something similar, for all cars where led drl is drained, they turn on when the car engine is started, and go out only when it is turned off, or otherwise when the headlights and PTF are turned on, I I want to do it like in the video, i.e. display a separate button for the whole thing.
on the next video, the bright work of DRL, in particular, a lot of work with the LEDayFlex model, take a closer look

These are the thoughts, these are the ideas, write what anyone thinks about, knows or has)
=) then it’s clear) and something else you scared me about the correct location in millimeters by car) then I’ll approach wisely) dimensions are written on fitting sites not for gifts) about the guarantee, yes ... trouble. at the Subaru itself) I’m sitting on a guarantee myself)
I live in the Czech Republic. Here, this product is not for beauty. Everyone is required by law to keep their headlights on. And DRL can replace daylight. Those. if there is clear visibility, then you can turn off the headlights and turn on the DRL, it is impossible in combination. As for the installation, it is also according to the rules: there should be at least 60 cm between the diodes (for cars already 130 cm it can be 40 cm), from 25 to 150 cm from the asphalt. The cops check the documents for these bulbs. They must be homologue.
As for Subaru, if I connect at least 1 diode to the electrical system, I can forget about the 3-year electrical warranty (and there is still a year left). I will wait and then I will send =)
ummm I can’t understand the problems) what is the severity in this product?) it’s just light bulbs) diodes) firelights) I don’t argue about their purchase, there may be problems, right now the takach himself has a problem, if you take Toko in Moscow) you are in Perm) about I don’t understand certification at all) this is not some kind of mega project to certify it) but why official? Or is your car under warranty? + off dealers are unlikely to have something like that, for this you need first of all a car designed and most likely prepared for this upgrade) which is definitely not the Japanese) you need to cut in your imagination and hands) and the Germans are the Germans) everything is thought out ...
Just where I live - strictly for this product. Everything is only certified, and then, there are no such ones on my car = (Officially, Subaru does not have and will not be installed yet.
Well, somehow I didn’t want to approach shirk pyrk) explained to people what and how ...
Damn, stock bukoff. But apparently useful info!
I was interested in this question myself. Thanks!
I think this is superfluous, or instead of the front tumanok) well, the taste and color …
I was on the blue lakes once, I would like to visit again, well, to see Alma-Ata and Astana,
they only say that customs shakes up the car a lot. So it's better to take the bus.
it may well happen. (Kazakhstan is such a country when Russia does something in the legislation or something like innovations or amendments, after a month or two these laws come to us ... but not all of course I won’t exaggerate, and not everyone gets along with the mentality unique to us)
soon you will buy a Vaz 2107 for 200,000 rubles and Kalina Sport for 400,000, (local prices) there will be no time for jokes. In our country, right now, you can’t buy a new car for 30,000 bucks. I’m serious.
Yes, they got in in vain, on the one hand plus on the other hand minus, every merchant TLT businessman or state organization sees this as a plus or a minus, but so far, let's say there have been no changes in the entire market, there has been a mass excitement) and a sea of ​​​​rumors and divorces for loot, in the form of intimidation or provocation ...) in general, a purely marketing ploy)
I agree about the mentality, it’s good for you there, only the authorities in vain got into the customs loop with ours ... You will have indigestion from Russian prices for cars. Helped with your used Americans, I know the market)
well, I did a blunder there) approximately show what I want as I want) holes are also a minus (I don’t argue (there are no problems about diodes and other show-offs in our country) it won’t be a problem to shove at all) on the contrary, I’ll tell you this plus a big one, you can fill an extra price) takawa asia) such is the mentality)
Diodes will go to Pradik, only symmetrically, there is no symmetry in the photo.
Although honestly I don’t see the point here nirazu. To make holes, put diodes - you will sell the car - they will ask - what for did you do?
A matter of taste, of course. I don’t like the new E with these diodes ... some kind of Chinese.
No offense
Yes, I have exactly the same situation. I drive EXCLUSIVELY on foglights, with the exception of heavy rain / snowfall ... But as they say, beauty requires sacrifice ... but I don’t want to do this! =)
these DeReEls are placed on flat areas! Those. if your tama has roundings, then it’s better not to experiment!
honestly, I didn’t see it) I saw the current stock ones) "And you will have to sacrifice foglights, because only instead of them the view will be worthy." — true true true … I do not deny that in place of tumanok they will be the place! but! why can’t I make such sacrifices, because in the evening or at night I drive around the city only with fog lights (rarely when I turn on the main ones) because they shine well, can even be attributed to some extent to the main headlights, they don’t blind, but they are more than fogs, and if they are removed and left with the main headlight lighting, then PPC) everyone's ass) they blind the PPC, well, not to say that they are terribly blind, there is too much light, they blind not because there are no lamps or Chinese xenon, I have a proprietary Bosch equipment, not from the fact that they are not configured, but from the fact that the prado itself has a container for the headlight, its PPC mirror is arranged like a lighthouse, a terrible return of light, they didn’t do it, they didn’t set it up) they realized that one option for everything is to twist the lens into the headlight ... in connection with this, I can’t remove the PTF) and I think to stick the DRL next to the PTF ... by the way, on the video, the Hell’s drl are massive) but they shine yes! so I chose hala, but I think philips will not be worse either) but I still have a question where to get normal drl ... and I’m still in doubt, it’s better to take single ones as I chose or it’s better to take a headlight from 5 led, as you want, it’s just a matter of the fact that the bend of the headlight may not coincide with the bend of my bumper ... it will look like a button accordion)
Before replacing the engine, I almost ordered a similar device for myself ...
We have cars in the city that were equipped with similar diodes. I personally saw and, so to speak, held these diodes in my hands.
I will 100% put something like this. And you have to sacrifice fogs, because. only instead of them the view will be worthy.
I myself, like the rear lights, will order the LED strip from Germany (thank God there is a person there).
These are the ones I'll be taking:
there are fewer problems with audi) there is a solid reshotka) and here PPC) nowhere) nowhere but PPC like (
I have the same problem ((It is necessary to remove the foglights, and the most difficult thing is to make this non-collective-farm grille, where it all should stand up.
aaaaaaaaaa you will finish me with PTF))) you will have to remove them))) they really look there))
very good topic! I didn’t even dig all the links to the end)) But one day I almost finished this idea, and then I returned to thinking about it again.
But of course you ask to put the foglights at the top of them.
I want to somehow more or less look like Europe *** =)
once again you can stand out from the crowd of clones *** =)
well said =)
I don’t argue) but I don’t have a German) I want to somehow more or less look like Europe) it’s just cute) once again you can stand out from the crowd of clones) yeah, but about Asia to the point) the main thing is to make up the car’s lips and it will leave for sure))
not a bad idea if it was a theme for mercedes, audi or volkswagen. Well, this is my opinion, I have nothing against F.
and infa is good. I will keep it in mind in the future.
ps "takava asia) such is the mentality)" I agree. ours will buy 100 pounds =)
my production report www.drive2.ru/cars/mazda/…/288230376151743856/#post
and here is the finished solution www.drive2.ru/users/mun/b…/288230376151731661/#post
if you don’t do it, twist the bumper, you’ll hardly find a fog. from GX470 does not rise. do from below
Yes, it won’t be ice (by the way, if you don’t find fogs of the same format, i.e. elongated thin ones and stick a doubletop together into the entire cavity, by the way, my dad is infuriated by a hole in the bumper opening where the PTF are) the place where the plug is) everyone wants to go there still ptf insert)
put on the button and that's it, so my fogs were on the paje on the kangaroo on the ignition turned on
"I would never change fogs on DRL" - I'm talking about the same thing ((I understood about the button
see the link above. I hung up the button. I pressed it and everything started plows. off no. fogs on DRL I would never change
in the sense of Oo, which button?) I’m confused) I’ll either change the PTF to drl i.e. I remove the PTF and insert the headlight there or leave it as it is and I will look for a place in the bumper) but I’m confused about the button) it has to do with it) =) or do you mean the button about turning on the drill or headlights?) then yes I’ll leave it , more precisely, I will establish)
well, it turns out you have to turn them off if you mantage the drl headlight in their place, then PPC how you don’t want to say goodbye to PTF (((such a convenient thing (((((((((((((((
another option next to the tumanka there is a place, and there are square DRL niche so I'll say it looks too. of course not as showy as you showed, but also nothing
yes, not bad, in general, I think they are big) compared to competitors), but if you remove the fogs and put them in there, it will be the very thing!
well, it’s clear, about the budget, oh, how I’m not sure, the primary problem here is how fast the DRLs will get up (which I want to cost 10.000-11.000r, but something is more and more leaning towards the option that Danya suggested, I think it will be easier to install and more effective ... yes, the price seems to be less, you need to dig deeper
I want to remove my lip, I will generally do it outside under Europe. remove the chrome mirrors. I'll put the computer on high. the cabin is still a fetish. parktronics option but also a pancake to paint them in color will have to but the OEM button on them is necessary. so will the collective farm.
budget DRL with buttons and lip removal, + parking sensors 400-500?
=) Sasha) I thought you would scold me for DRL) didn’t you really like it?) I thought you would reject my idea) about the lip, yes) you will have to take it off (PS and to be honest I don’t write to many owners what I like what I don’t like) because such trifles are a matter of taste) it’s worth a look Toko in your face) but I don’t like the lips on the Prado) remove it) garbage holes or plugs from parking sensors or meager work in the paint shop, just the 120th herring itself. a long contagion so here it is still lengthened and narrowed) like a fish with a lip) damn carp) by the way, I got a chip not so long ago) why the prado sucks body kits) although they may not look like shit, they don’t look like shit ... the fact is that all the body kits are what? they stupidly make an iron out of it… a rock… i.e. they go down and that's it ... if you make it wide, it will immediately look,
I wanted to write about DRL, I already found a button with an interesting icon. you don’t have good lips, I’m thinking of taking mine off. yes holes then have to paint the bumper
I was told there will be some kind of photo shoot tomorrow at Nurly Tau from AI Drive? about the key, I already need the PPC)) mine does not survive) in the pocket of a pile of details) how it will fall apart)
Uncle will go, I'll give him a photo. on the prado forum they said that the quality is 4+. I want to take two. +1 to you. ok button =)
for weeks there will be a prado gathering in the evening. I'll pick you up
if anything, save a button for me too, of course I'll give the money! well, I just want to take hela and embed) are you already looking for cars? or are you determined? By the way, what about the ignition keys, or rather their frames?
In short, I'm in the subject if that's the button that I want to use on the DRL is with FJ with TRD kit tumanok. I will try to order, how are those? that and + it with fixing. here with the chip of the problem it will take a long time to rummage through the analysis. but I think it can be done.
s003.radikal.ru/i202/1009/c6/42f41bb0c270.jpg
and about DRL, do you remember the link I threw? there on the prado forum sucked on the topic. china what not to take from us if you take the current hella and embed. I have abandoned the car. looking for GTI or Camry.
not from Merc, definitely not) and then you say 1200) I found 1600-1800))) hella or philips)
