DRL Bumper - which one?
Want to fit a new front bumper with oblong DRLs. I don't really like the quad DRL style - too bright and blingy for me.

Who's is best? Flatdog's look good, but there are some cheaper ones out there - Britpart etc.

Any recommendations? Cheapest place to buy?

I'm going to get the Flatdog one, but mainly because I want a HD bumper without recovery points. That it comes with DRL's is a bonus. They are cheaper than some HD only bumpers and some DRL only bumpers, not seen any combined for the price. Made by Mantec too. Bargain.

It's arrived. It's heavy! Damned heavy!

DRLs are pre-wired to a battery pack to demonstrate them - look very nice lit up Cool

Have to work tomorrow but hopefully will get it fitted on Saturday. Also got a friend's Fiesta booked in for a quick door mirror change as some scrote knocked the old one off. Now the Caterham has gone, it'll be nice to get the spanners out Wink 2020 110 D200 Base - Pangea with satin paint protection

^ Have you a night time / or day time with the lights on.


Do they come on with side lights? off with headlights?

They come on with ignition and turn off if sidelights are on.

The DRLs are made by Ring. 2020 110 D200 Base - Pangea with satin paint protection

well, if it does rust, you can always try the D44 bumper
