UPDATE Dec 2011
I have been thinking about converting my lotus esprit lights to l.e.d running lights for about a year now
finaly got around to compleating this project and thought id upload some photos to this web site
to get some opinions.
The DRL i used were the hella led dayline set. the bumper was modified to accomodate the new led fitment. the wireing was quite simple i used the exsiting wires plus i added a extra live controlled by the headlight relay for the auto dimming of the running lights. the led indicators were golf/polo led after market indicator units i just used the exsiting indicator wires plus i changed the flasher unit behind the dashboard to a electronic unit specialy made for led lighting.
