Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Anybody tried switchback bulbs in the winkers?

Oh, so you mean when the headlights are switched ON it would disable the DRL.
So not totally necessary if I didn't mind having the DRL ON and the headlights ON at the same time?

Makes sense now :-)

Thank you.

Yes please read on from post here. Note you need to ensure the switchback LED's have internal resistor to simulate similar current load of filament indicator bulbs. Ditto if changing rear indicator bulbs to LED, this to ensure flasher rate remains the same.

End result here. Note picture taken at dusk so brightness exaggerated by camera.



Note also I don't identify the white lights in indicator position as DRL's. They are simply extra sidelights and as a sop to white van man. They remain on day and night since that's the OE condition on 3.7 Roadsters, and appear not to upset oncoming drivers at night given the low mounting position. The car has passed several MOT's since fitting without any mention either.

Thank you.
I understood the main bits just couldn't quite get my head around the need for a relay

I have all the bits now and its a little job to do over the xmas

You won't regret the conversion Paul. I find it gives increased confidence when driving during the day in dull or murky conditions.

On my to do list too Richard, trouble is the garage fitout & parts dept at the new place is taking way longer (& more £££) than planned...but it's gonna be wow !
