after a near miss with a blind old fogie and of course the associated slanging match I decided to put some DRL on the 968.

not just chucked on but with a controller so they work as the law describes

they are off till the engine is running

they go off when the main lights are on

they stay on for 30 seconds when the engine is switched off to give you see you home lights (handy in my dark garage)

Controller

Lamps (they sent twice as many as i ordered (result)

made up the looms for them and little plastic mounts that fit in the top of the lower grille

the end result

have to excuse the broom handle holding the bonnet up, when its cold the gas struts wont hold it up, and a bonnet catch in the head really hurts, experience talking
