Daytime Running Light ideas

Hey guys,
Looking for DRL ideas on the S197 body style. Show a picture if you've installed some. I have an '06 GT. I wired my fog lights with a resistor & relay to accomplish the task but willing to consider something cooler.
I am a big believer in them especially with the color of my car.
Thanks!
Stan

Just wired 'em into the parking lights (halo's) and turn signals (white).

Seeing your car has just reminded me of this:


I also have DRL but it's free and shines at least 320 days/year where I live.

Actually, my boys' car and like yours cops can see it from a mile away (maybe even farther).

I have halo DRL’s. Used a relay and wired them to come on with key.

^^^ I still like that hood. I had a 71 and 72 Mach 1's with that style hood. It matches the rest of the classic look s197

They look nice. Where did you get them? Do they impede the fog-light beam?

American Muscle or CJ Pony. I really can’t remember, it’s been at least 5 years. No they do not interfere with fogs at all.

Fog lights and bottom lights both turn on soon as the vehicle is in drive. Turned on using forscan

I wired mines, using a relay and on/off button inside the cabin. Purchased a harness that included the relay and switch for around $15.00.
I got a warning ticket in Maryland. Sign said headlights were required. I explained that my fogs were on to act as DLRs. Officer said my rear running lights were not on. Lesson learned.

Nice. Where did you get the bottom lights? Thanks!

I had the same lights. Purchased the LED strips on eBay and wired them using a relay and button in the cabin.

Ebay. Had them a while and no issues. They are on all the time
