How to connect DRL with my own hands?

For more than 3 years new traffic regulations have been in force in Russia, where there is an item on mandatory inclusion of dipped-beam headlamps or installation of navigation lights for all vehicles. Of course, at first you might think: why spend 5-6 thousand rubles, if you can safely ride with the lights on? However, do not forget that the car, traveling with the electronics switched on, consumes at least 3-4 percent more fuel than the one that is equipped with running lights. About a year this amount can fully pay off, so that the connection of DRL to the car is quite appropriate. And if problems with the choice of the details may not arise, then with the installation - just the opposite. Of course, you can entrust the process to the hands of professionals, but why pay 4,000 rubles for a job you can do with your own hands? If you are a supporter of this thought, this article is for you.

After that, it remains only to securely fix the DRL in the hole. What wires to connect, which bolts to unscrew and screw in, depends on the type of car and its bumper design in particular. However, after installation, you have to do a number of works. They are included in the "fine-tuning" of the lights to the standards of GOST.

The height within the framework should be from 250 to 1500 millimeters from the surface of the earth, and the distance between the inner edge of the two surfaces is not less than 600 millimeters. If your car has a width less than 1.3 meters, this distance can be reduced to 400 millimeters.
