For the indicating function then I simply connected these two wires locally at each original bulb location and tapped into original wires. To get the DRL function as well then took a common feed from the engine bay fuse box to both of the strips to connect to the third wire.
Thanks I will get some ordered and give it ago haha

I ordered this with a drl controller to connect up to the battery but I can't get it to turn off the controller said under 13v will power off but my volt meter is reading 12.01v but still not powering down any ideas? Am new at this and thought it might be easier to connect using a controller or am I better connecting a fuse and running from ignition on?

Not sure of the type you have ordered, but those that I purchased looked like this:

BA42663C-406B-4C08-B6B4-28E258339FB7.jpeg

So these already come with a Controller in the black box.

So the three wires I mentioned:
Yellow & Black go to the original indicator wires locally for indicator function.
To then have DRL also.
Then Red wire from left hand side light strip and Red wire from RHS light strip are linked together on a new positive feed wire taken from from a positive 12v in engine bay fuse box.
So then white light when driving normally, then when you indicate white goes off and dynamic orange starts flashing.

I got mine from AliExpress:(60cm)

I connected the wires to the indicator wires, I did try connecting to the actual bulb joint but then found the look was better taking the indicator bulbs out of the housing and connecting to original wires, not cutting them just tapping into them. I have not used any additional DRL controller, only additional item was new wire to engine fuse box to a switched live.

Gazza61 - please don't scatterbomb the forum with multiple similar questions in different places. Why not start a specific topic and describe precisely what you're trying to do
