What is Daytime Running Light (DRL)?

A daytime running lamp (DRL, also daylight running lamp or daytime running light) is an automotive lighting device on the front of a roadgoing motor vehicle, installed in pairs, automatically switched on when the vehicle is moving forward, emitting white, yellow, or amber light to increase the conspicuity of the vehicle during daylight conditions.

Are you looking for Daytime Running Light (DRL) for your KIA Forte Fog? I found two which is to replace the original Fog Lamp / addon to the Fog Lamp area which fit nicely! with the DRL. It’s kinda cool and unique! I’m planning to get one for quite sometime but still considering. Do you want one for yourself? =)

Type 1 : KIA Forte Fog Lamp Daytime Running Light (DRL)

This mod will required to take out the original Fog Lamp. ~ around RM600+-

See it actually take out the Fog Lamp and replace with this DRL which fit nicely! Looks very yeng and smart right? Awesome!

Type 2 : KIA Forte Fog Lamp Daytime Running Light (DRL)

This mod will not required to take out the original Fog Lamp but just additional layer on top of the Fog Lamp. ~ around RM720+-

This mod is only add additional layer on top and it’s only Daytime Running Light (DRL) without turning light (signal light) like the Type 1 above.

Which one do you prefer? Not sure will kena tax for this DRL or not. Bare in mind this is not those normal DRL that you can find in any accessories shop but this is custom fit to KIA Forte!

Not sure this only fit in 1st Gen Forte or Can also fit the Face-lifted Forte? If you interested would like to start a bulk and we will modify this poison together! What’s your comment? Nice ? Not that Ah Beng right? Haha…
