LED daytime running lights

There are more and more car owners who have already installed or are going to install daytime running lights on their car . They are so popular with drivers because of their main feature - very strong brightness. The headlamps glow so that their day is seen better than the dipped-beam on.

What is the advantage of daytime running lights:

1. Low energy consumption. Together with the rear dimensions, the front lights consume 130 W, and the LED tape - 14 W. The result is obvious. The lower the energy consumption, the lower the fuel consumption. So in everything there is a benefit.
2. The service life of the navigation lights also significantly exceeds the effect of light bulbs, which need a large number with frequent use.
3. In the end, in its beauty, ordinary lamps are inferior to the running lights.

The only drawback - a fairly high price. Not everyone can afford such an ornament. The cost of some individual elements is from 3 to 5 thousand, and the whole set costs from 9 to 11 thousand rubles. Plus, the installation work. Despite the cost, the market provides a very wide range to choose from, which means that daytime running lights are in demand.

What is very important to pay attention to during the acquisition:

1. Select the shape of the block. For this, consider the shape of the bumper, the design and design of the entire car.
2. Blocks are also different in size. Decide on the place on the car, on which you will install the lights, then the dimensions will become more clear.
3. Consider the total power of the LEDs throughout the unit.

Daytime running lights - installation

The installation of navigation lights can cause certain difficulties and even seem like a whole problem. As a rule, a place for this is chosen next to the headlights or in the voids on the bumper. For these installations, it is often necessary to cut and drill holes. But not only that you need to fix the daytime running lights on one level with the bumper so that they do not protrude, so it is still necessary to properly conduct the wiring and connect them so that when the engine is turned on they light up, and with the passing beam turned off. All the works performed must comply with the requirements of GOST.

How to conduct installation work with your own hands

The technologies for installation are different depending on the kit that needs to be installed on the car. Each of them is accompanied by an installation manual. In it, the manufacturer clearly indicates the connection scheme of the lights for their correct operation. In addition, in each set there is a set of necessary parts for installation work.

Here are some requirements for GOST:

1. Installation of navigation lights is strictly prohibited on trailers.
2. The scheme by which the lights are mounted on the car must comply with the requirements prescribed by the manufacturer.
3. Automatic turning lights on and off when starting the engine.
4. The installation of diode lights on the vehicle is allowed only from the front and only in the direction of the light ahead.

Observe certain technical rules, install LED daytime running lights on your car and use them on the roads!
