oke Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi I noticed that I never use the fog lights. So I took them out and installed the daytime running lights instead. Here in Scandinavia we must use lights also by daytime, and I keep forgetting them. Now the DRL comes on automatically and I don’t have to use 100watts of normal lights, but instead 10watts of bright LED’s. I think they fit quite nicely in the place of the fog lights.

Greetings Oke Those look nice and bright. So you removed the entire lamp assy? Was it a Dogde part that you installed? I checked around and the PSX24W fog lamp bulbs that Dodge uses are only 24watts each and look quite lame when compared to my new Silverstar Ultra headlamp bulbs. Apparently you cannot put higher wattage bulbs on the factory fog lamp harness. This is not gospel only what I have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oke Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 The DRL’s I used are not original Dodge parts, but common assessor parts. And yes, I took the fog lights completely out. The normal driving lights take 55watts each ( 2x55watts=110watts) and these led’s take only 5watts each (2x5). By using the DRL’s I am saving the normal running lights for night driving . Besides, the led lights lasts longer. Here is the picture of the DRL I used. It has four bright leds . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these available in North America? or would you have a link to the manufacturer? My lights on my 2010 are only 24 watts each, they call them fog lamps but the light they cast is very poor and I have not seen much available so far. Phil.
