Hi Rob. Have you got any pics you can share of your car with the custom made drls please. I'm interested to see how they look. Cheers Paul.
I've got a few pictures of them not all on the car if that helps!
What do you think of these headlights?

They are wired to a drl module by Genlabs (eBay) and then the power is fed from an ignition live fuse by the side of the dash. They are connected to the headlights so that when the dipped beam is on the DRLs dip to about 50% so not to dazzle. The LEDs I use are t10 canbus ones.
Knew id seen this set up before looks smart and oem as fook

Mine are different to Jakes....his are easier to install and cheaper but I still think mine look OEM!
I've just checked ebay and it appears that their store is having problems. Drop them an email at their website and they can advise, as for the module its this one: http://genlabs.co.uk/products/drlr/drlr2.html
As for fuse, use this location and a 3w fuse should be fine as LED's use hardly any power:

Cheers that's a gear help, as for tapping into the headlights I'm guessing it will be the live feed for the headlight?
So if I drill the holes for the LEDs splice them all together then put the wire into the headlight then through to the fuse box?? Or is that completely wrong ha?

The drl module has a guide on where to fit the wires. You just need to have a positive and negative to the DRLs, an earth point on the car, a feed from the dipped beam (so the module knows when to dip to 50%) and the ignition live from the car (as per my photo above)...just feed a cable through the bulkhead behind the battery and away you go.
I know this is an old post but how do the Dectane projectors compare to standard reflectors. Just seen a few posts about them not being as good as OEM projectors. Just wondered if it was worth the upgrade.

They look ok when on the car but the light output isn't very good. They don't recommend that you use HIDs due to the distance of the bulb to the lens, also the cutoff line kicks up and is not straight.
You're better off either getting a set and retrofitting a proper projector or getting a set of retrofitted bixenon projectors so they look more OEM. Just add a set of HIDs and it will be fine. Will also pass an MOT without any problems too.
Happy to assist if required as I've made a few for forum members.
Cheers
Rob
I'll vouch for Rob, very knowledgeable guy and very patient when it comes to helping other members!!!
I've still got the projectors in my bedroom as my Leon is long gone, and had an audi s3, which is also long gone
