If you wire them to the sidelights surely that defeats the object?
Just use your sidelights

There's a chap lives near me has an old Astra and he has put the fairy lights on the front bumper, they even flash orange when he indicates. Looks incredibly wank, but he is probably well impressed with himself!

You cant wire then to your sidelights because theyer supposed to turn off when you turn your headlights on and the sidelights dont do that. IIRC youll fail your MOT for that.

Well thats bollocks.
The idea is they are supposed to be switchable from a switch on the dash. Not linked to side lights (defeats the object). When there on, the rear lights are not supposed to be lit as well.
easiest way is to just have them on a separate supply which switches on when you switch the ignition on.

RE: drl lights wired to sidelights help - Oil-burner - 11-11-2012
I had a VTR for a short while between 306's and I hated it!
Don't know where you get rapid from, they are 90bhp or 100bhp >2001.
The only reason they feel fast is because of how shit they are!
Put it this way if you were to roll down a hill at 20mph in a Bentley, you'd barely notice you were moving.
So now imagine rolling down the same hill at 20mph in a shopping trolley, now correct me if im wrong but you'd shit yourself!
Only thing I'd say about them is they're willing and revvy but feel strangled at anything above 50mph, sound ok and would look ok if they didn't have the chav label!
Oh and take the drl's back and get some mist jets, best £5 you'll ever spend!
RE: drl lights wired to sidelights help - HDIkyle - 12-11-2012
£7! I think I'd rather spend that on some led washerjets than that. Personal opinion ofcourse

Either get really bright sidelights, or turn your headlights on anyway if your goal is to be seen.
Far less hassle to just make what is already there work well.
