chadman09Paul Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I am trying to get a couple of wires from the engine compartment on the Gen 7 into the car to wire a switch for DRL's.I want control over when they are on and i need to wire in a switch but it's finding a place to get them through the bulkhead . Anyone got any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadman09Paul Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Where do you drill to miss everything? There is so much electrics tucked away i gotta be 100% sure,, The DRL's that i have fitted look bloody good, really pleased with the end result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamGTR Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 You want a switch, for DRL's? But... ? They're DRL's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Clogwyn Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I don't know what a DRL is? footwells, up the corner behind the dash is usually into clear space in the engine bay and out the way enough not to get in the way in the cabin. If not. Can always follow existing looms which are easily identifiable and drill next to it, also gives you something to cable tie your new wiring onto to keep it tidy.

vnboyz Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 there is one on the left side behind the battery. however it really tight as there is alot of wire go through there already but if you take out ur glove compartment and get a flexible rod and wiggle abit you should be able to get through it and it should come out behind the fan where the pollen filter go hope this help ps i still dunno y you want to get a switch for the DRLs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy89 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 There is a spot for cables going through inside the wheel arch and coming out near the glovebox. This page has some more info on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petest202 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 i have a switch on mine. the only reason i wanted the option to turn them off was for night time use. before i got hids, the yelow headlight bulbs looked crap against the bright white leds in the drl's. so i turned them of at night. but they look great now with the hids and led sides.

rpsmith79 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I don't know what a DRL is? Daytime Running Lights Alan, so they are supposed to be on all the time, hence why people are confused about wanting a switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsolentMinx Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Daytime Running Lights Alan, so they are supposed to be on all the time, hence why people are confused about wanting a switch maybe he wants them on when the car is off?

ArgoS Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I find the best way to make a hole is to use thermite. But do take care as if you make to bigger a hole you'll have a job to fill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its one of those things people like or hate but i guess its what make all our cars different. same thing but cheaper : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ring-Lyra-Dual-Function-LED-Day-Night-Lamp-DRLs-/180681784675?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a11793d63 Edited November 23, 2011 by version30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
