    Thinking of getting a set of Philips DRL's for my car. I do a lot of driving, about 3k a month. But while they seem easy enough to fit, I would concerned about wiring them into the car. Anyone know best place to get a decent wiring diagram to fit them on a 2008 Mondeo.

    Have them in my car almost 2 years. Piece of piss for wiring. As in, there is none. Fit the DRL's wherever is best, run wires to the supplied relay box, connect relay box to battery. Job done. Well, apart from tidying up the wires, and securely mounting the relay box.

    There is an option to splice one wire into your parking lights, so the DRLs turn off when the parking lights are turned on, but I didn't see the point in doing that.

    Cheers Chuck, are they the Philips ones? We sell them in work and I was thinking about them, but I was concerned about the wiring.

    Yeah, they're the Philips ones. Hardest part was placing them.

    I'd ideally like to have mounted the just above the fog lights, but that would've meant cutting the bumper. Wasn't loving that idea too much.
