View Full Version : Daytime Running Light Kit Harry5150 04-27-2000, 09:57 AM Does anyone know if the factory daytime running light kit is simple plug-in job or needs extensive rewiring? The parts guys I've talked to don't seem to know or don't want to bother looking it up for me.

KodeBlu 04-27-2000, 11:37 AM 2mrchio, I have to ask...what does FWIW stand for?? ------------------ '99 Limited 4X4 SOHC V6 No mods yet, but getting ALOT of ideas here. Alec 04-27-2000, 04:41 PM I wanted some daytime lights, but also good all-purpose auxilliary lights. I went to Autozone and got some Pilot $60 driving lights and mounted them in the grille. They work well for daytime lights and night-time blinders http://www.4x4central.com/ubb/smile.gif Good luck! ------------------ Alec Rosenbaum University of TX @ Austin 1996 Explorer Sport 4.0L V-6 2WD K&N Filtercharger Magnaflow Cat-back Aux lights/horns Custom Stereo Jim F 04-30-2000, 10:03 PM I believe the FWIW stands for: "For What It's Worth" ------------------ Exploring CA 98 XLT 4X4 4.0L SOHC Dignan 04-30-2000, 10:44 PM 1. Yes, FWIW does =For What It's Worth 2. If you want daytime running lights, Just turn your lights on during the day. Harry5150 05-02-2000, 01:17 AM Thanks for for your suggestions guys. I think I'll order one and work from there unless I can figure a way to use some relays to automaticlly switch from my brights only during the day to regular beams & lights when I turn the headlight switch on. Dignan, I do run w/ my lights on during the day but I wanted a way of having daytime lights without having all the other lights prematurely burn out. From what I've read, lighted power door lock/window switches and lighted speed control switches on the steering wheel are quite expensive. I already have 2 dash bulbs that I need to change. Harry JSawyer 05-10-2002, 11:46 AM Explorer Express no longer has the DRL kit. I talked to a local Ford dealer and there is a kit available for my 2000. The part number is : f6sz13b218aa. He quoted me about $60. He couldn't tell me if it was a simple plug in or if it had to be spliced in. Does anyone know about this kit? |
