Hi.

I've got some Daylight running lights for my Westy, where are you people placing/attaching them? Anybody got any pics to give me some ideas.

Many thanks.

I had this arrangement last year. IMG_20190101_121828.jpg.4b8573c48ed195cc824273805c387d86.jpg

This year I'm changing the nose to ducted, and have halo drl lights, with the indicators below. I'll put a picture in tech talk once I have them fitted.

I got Coolex to fit four mounts on the front the same as on a plastic polo rad but on the intercooler 6mm Id then made up some alloy brackets.

Just a flat piece of metal clamped between the headlight and the headlight bracket. 15463547125912910859039353392782.thumb.jpg.3974391a2cc949996f31b97f9d55b2e4.jpg

If you're interested I could sell you the lights, bracket and dlr controller, as I don't need them for the new setup I'm going for, say £35 including postage.

Thank you for the idea. However I have just brought lights and controller ..

Mine are on the top front wishbone - they are brighter than they look in the first pic though.

As Chris said brighter than they look & very discreet.

As recommended by @Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO & @Andy (Sycho) above.

I bough mine from here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YZS7VTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They've done over 12,000 faultless miles over 3 years! 

Easily stuck to the bottom of the top wishbone with the self adhesive they come with.

 I shamelessly followed @IanK (Bagpuss)     and bought exactly the same cheap chinese units and also mounted them to the top wishbones.

For the money they're stupendous value....

At the risk of being misunderstood....”me too”. :)  those LED strips look like an excellent solution.
