Hi guys
Just a quick one. So I coded the indicators using vcds to run as DRL's which looks awesome btw, however it's only about half way across the lens if that makes sense. I'm seeing lots of the same mod done but the full lens is illuminated on pics. I have a 57 plate Eddie without xenons. Question! is it only with xenons that the whole indicator wraps round or am I missing something simple
Cheers
Rich

I cannot be certain but I have factory xenons on my Eddy and is the full way across and I am sure I have seen other on non xenons but only like yours
-
I think it's only xenons that have the full DRL lens.
-
Yeah only oem xenons have the full strip.
Even my aftermarket projectors don't have the full strip.
Still looks cool either way though.

Mine are full and depo headlight :thinking:
I should have mentioned the oem halogen lights don't have DRL as you need double amber bulbs and they only have a single one.

Oh really? So you have 2 indicator bulbs in each light? I'll have to check mine up close to see if there is a spare hole to feed another one through.
