Chris1970 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just got my new DRL's installed this week. Love and they are very bright during the day also. Exact fit and option to auto dim (50%) when headlights are turned on. http://store.ijdmtoy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadman64 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Wow that's awesome. How much did all of that cost? Are your headlights also HID? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I totally love them. Yes, I have HID's also (6000K), but kept the stock parking lights, kinda looks like it's angry. I got the DRL's for $169.99 + shipping from ijdmtoy.com. A month later, still doing great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcrs24 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Looks good! I have been eyeing these for a while now. Might have to pull the trigger and get a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1970 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Very easy to install, they quite literally pop right on. Module comes with it. Red (bat+) Black (ground-), blue (acc fuse to trigger on/off), white (optional) can be hooked to headlight positive that will dim the DRL by 50% when the headlights are on. That's it. These are exact fit, so they fit cars with or without the fogs. All the mounting points are there for the fogs to be mounted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I get a picture with the lights turned off; so I can see how the bezel looks?> Also, Where did you run the wires through the firewall?

Chris1970 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Will take pics when I get a chance. Nothing to run through the firewall as they are not controlled from the car interior. Automatic module that is included takes care of everything. If you're talking about running the wires from the grille area to the engine compartment, same as HID wiring routes.

nmadole Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Install done; it was a huge pain in the butt. I have them set to always dim. Question for the OP, Where did you run your red wire? My fog lamps are not as blue as they appear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Very cool Nmadole! Ran the red to the battery. Where did you run yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmadole Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Very cool Nmadole! Ran the red to the battery. Where did you run yours? EDIT: I re-read your post.... My blue is the dimmer, not the accessory switch? Where did you run your accessory switch wire? Edited September 10, 2014 by nmadole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Here is the link for the install (http://ijdmtoy.com/BLOG/wordpress/2014/07/01/how-to-install-ford-fusion-led-daytime-running-lights/). Anyways, the acc fuse they showed was not available on my car (I only have an SE) so I used the windshield wiper fuse to trigger the activation of the lights. Being that power is taken from the battery, there is no risk to that particular fuse. DRL's turn on, as the key turns on, they turn off, 15 secs after the car is turned off. My module was exactly as above: Red - battery + terminal Black - Ground to the car body near battery Blue - Wiper fuse for activation of the unit White - Did not hookup to headlight for dimmer as I'm not interested in that feature.(optional) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmadole Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) That is weird; My control module is completely different. I finished my wiring last night.... Red - Power - Spliced into the Parking Light power wire Black - Ground - Connected to the car body near battery Blue - Dimmer - Connected to Red Power wire (I like the Dim setting better so I want the lights to always be at the Dim setting). White - OFF - Not connected to anything Having it hooked to the parking light is perfect in my opinion; the LED comes on when I unlock my car. The LED stays on for a short delay after my car is turned off. They are always on when my parking lights are on, and I can turn them off using the interior light control if I want. I'll post some more pics/ video on Friday. Edited September 11, 2014 by nmadole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 There's probably endless ways of doing it, I like to have them on all the time at the brightest mode. I did notice the front of the black Fusions, are not very noticeable when approaching traffic, I used to have a lot of people turn in front of me or cut me off. That has done a 180 now. It's a shame, that a $200 piece of equipment was not added to the new Fusion for safety reasons, well worth the money. Not surprised that our fuse boxes are different, you have the hybrid and I don't, many differences I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual control module that came with the lights is different; the fuse box is the same in the hybrid vs. non-hybrid.... I guess the company changed what they are sending to customers. Your blue is the 12 volt switch; mine is the dimmer .... I don't have a 12 volt switch (I wish they would have sent me your style control module) Edited September 11, 2014 by nmadole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 But yours has red/black/blue/white, correct? The white must be the switch then. The site even says they may differ, but the info sheet that comes with it has the correct setup for the module it comes with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put current on the White it turns off the LED's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
