Increasing head lights output (full LED setup)

[pb2k]

Hey @ David C, how hard was it to convert the parking lights to DRL? I'm in the same situation where I installed new LEDs and pulled my DRL relay. Any pictures or links to good information would be appreciated.

Right now I have some Sylvania 0.7W 2825 LED's but I think I'll need to move those to the side markers and get some T10s closer to 3W for them to be bright enough to not draw any unnecessary attention from the constabulary. What are you using?

I'm using the Phillips interior Vision 194 bulbs in the parking lights, I tap a 12v ignition powered from pin 3 of the alternator connector, since the led draws so little, the 10A GAUGE circuit that this wire is being fed from won't mind. Then I used a nearby bolt to ground to frame. If I remember, pin 3 is the green wire (at least on my own car).

I did grab a pair of parking light connectors from the scrap yard so I wouldn't have to hack into the car factory harness.
