Our Review

In summary:

This is the original LED daylight running kit from Philips. It is designed to be fitted on the majority of today's vehicles, with a simple click mechanism for fitting.

It is now mandatory to have daylight running lights in the EU

Since 2011, it has been compulsory in the EU for all new vehicles to be fitted with a daylight running light. Ordinarily this is a halogen version, but LED can be fitted as an aftermarket addition and offers the benefits of extra visibility and style.

This Philips LED Daytime Lights DRL kit features powerful LUXEON LEDs, the same quality as used on new vehicles. This ensures excellent performance with the proven technology of Philips, one of the world's leading automotive lighting manufacturers.

It is estimated by the EU that the installation of daylight running lights will save between 1,200 and 2,000 road fatalities each year across the continent.
