[DML] Re: Daytime Running Lights (Type 2?)

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Rich - Your idea is great.  I know that the Wings-A-Light Daytime 
Running Light module can be used to power any light source desired, 
including aftermarket driving or fog lights, so there is no reason 
why it wouldn't work just fine with LED's.  It would need some 
investigation to see if adding an LED to the existing housing, but 
off to the side, would work based on the focus points that the 
housing is designed for.  One issue would be the reduced power level 
output from the module - LED's are sensitive to voltage input.  All 
that would be necessary to resolve that would be to have the module 
trigger a relay that would then actually power the LED.  In any 
event, this sort of derivative can be quickly implemented.  Thanks 
for the input.
