  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hello everybody!
This is my first post here. Hope this is the right place.
I'm french speaking so be indulgent.
I modify the lightning set up on my 2010 4.6 sedan. I didn't like the yellowish color of the OEM DRL (low voltage low beams). So I took the oldschool route and use a yellow 2500K H8 fog as DRL like Chrysler does on the Challenger. The fogs/DRLs turn on as I start the engine but still retain the fog function when I switch to headlights. I can still control the fog with the OEM fog switch and I also can get the fogs without the low beams for bad weather driving. It is a very simple mod requiring two relays, one fused add-a-circuit and few lenghts of wire. If one prefers white led DRLs, it's also possible with this mod with different connections. Now I can change my high beam bulbs with Philips CrystalVision to match the color of my OEM HID. They should last a while because they are no longer use as DRL but only as high beam.

Thanks and welcome, Richard. Photo?

Speaking of DRLs, I'm having a pair of these Phillips LED DRL 8 lamps installed on my '14 Santa Fe Sport 2.0 T next week. Hyundai was too cheap to equip Santa Fe's with DRLs. I believe the '15 model corrects this huge oversight. This video shows how they auto-dim when the headlights are turned on.
