DIY installation of Tri-colour LED fog lights on my Maruti Swift

Maybe I will upgrade to the IPH M617 LED Projector Fogs later this year but for the time being these are more than enough.

BHPian Ashtoncastelino recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Activation of DRLs.

I initially thought that I would get a DRL controller that would be connected directly to the battery which would be activated when the battery voltage goes above 13.5V and the controller would switch off the DRLs when the battery voltage comes below 13V which means the car is Switched off. While I liked this setup, Dad told me to connect them to the parking light so I agreed as well because of lesser wires running here and there.

Issue was I couldn’t find any male connector for the parking position socket. I wasn’t willing to cut any wires so I came up with another idea, I planned to change that 2 pin connector to a different two-pin connector(speaker connector type) using the same pin so it is reversible in the future. Used my depinning tool kit and swapped the connector to the new type of connector. Passed the wires through the rubber grommet of the headlight and to the shrouds. Apologies but I seem to have lost pics of the DRL wiring. Will post it at a later stage.

DRL’s Activated

Got a set of Tri-color H11 LED Fog lights from CNSUNNYLIGHT Store and a friend hand-carried them to India. 3000K,4300K, and 6000k is what these LEDs output.

LED vs Stock halogen Fog

6000K Fog

4300K ​​Teeth

3000K Teeth

They too have added good output to the existing setup and it’s been a breeze so far. Maybe I will upgrade to the IPH M617 LED Projector Fogs later this year but for the time being these are more than enough.

Alignment on point even after throwing it on bad roads

Until the next update and Happy New Year!
