Title: Euro i30 GD owners with DRL's - help needed figuring out wiring/sensing
Post by: plasticphyte on March 07, 2013, 07:33:18: Hi all,

Ok, so in the pursuit of adding some DRL's to my car, and in keeping with OEM/Genuine parts, I'm considering getting the fog lamp/drl assembly from the tourer/estate/wagon model that has been launched here in Australia.
My source for the parts thinks the electronics that determine whether the parking/driving/high beam lights are on or not is part of the fog lamp assembly. My thoughts are that the relevant switching kit would be part of a wiring loom elsewhere in the car.

I'm wondering if someone with the genuine fog/drl assembly could do some investigative work, as obviously here in Australia there isn't a hatch model with DRL.

I am also considering the much cheaper fog/drl assembly from ebay as someone else has done here, however my preference is genuine parts first. Although at the price I've been quoted (which I won't be sharing at this stage), is fairly steep.

Really appreciate any help any member/s could provide.

Have you searched the forum for this.. :question: ...I think he posted a photo of the car in his driveway.
