I connected the dimmer module and Works well i connected the signals from the rear lights soldering the conections adding buzzers for the signals because mine had no sound and the hazzard no warning light and was easely forgotten. Two birds with one stone

Notice this problem before I got mine and the easy way out of this problem if your car is lease or you don't want to mess on is to drive with side lights on...... the drive lights are dimmer sorry if its been discussed before....

Think the problem there David is mismatch between tungsten (yellowish) side lights & DRL LED'S.
J11b solution much better.

i paid extra for automatic lights. to drive on sidelights to avoid drl dimming is pointless, as in spain are many tunnels and apply fines for not useing dipped headlights far outweighing the cost and trouble of fitting correct dimming as i have from Duncho. and i can use the function of automatic light control as fitted to my tekna Premium , bears thought?

Did not think the DRL. Lights were a problem when driving on headlights they are dimmed as if you were on side lights I think ......

Dear all, I have a GOOD NEWS - new batch of slightly improved DRL Dim/OFF modules :D

By redesigning the control module logic I managed to set DRL "come back ON" to even shorter time!

If anyone is interested, please PM me or send an email to:

Thank you!

PS
...behind the scene of module making - lunch time! :lol:
