For those with an ARB Deluxe Bar.

Thanks for that, I have an NW so might be the other style. I might have to wait until I get the bar and then order the correct one.

If it’s a deluxe bar then it comes with the fog insert and you cut out the part where the fog light goes. The light clips into the surround and there’s a screw and spring used to adjust the aim up/down as required.

Thank you, great to hear. The Qvee ones might be worth a look as well but I think the Stedi’s look better.

Hi All
just fitted Stedi fog light replacements in the ARB bullbar. Initially I wired up the Stedi's to the existing ARB DRL's but the the Stedi DRL's appeared dull. Based on the comments so far on this thread I thought I should wire from a direct source so wired directly to fuse 22 ( wipers) and still no improvement also tried the unused sunroof slot with the same result.
The Stedi DRLS are dimmer than the ARB DRL's which is really saying something considering the ARB DRL's are feeble at best.
Has anyone got any ideas.

By the way the LED fogs are great and I also replaced the low and high beam with LEDS at the same time and very pleased. Just need to get the DRL's set up correctly

Out of curiosity I contacted STEDI about the dim DRLs. This was their response:

"In the early days some people did receive some from a batch where the LED daytime running light was not a bright as it should have been this has been rectified now, they can be seen int he daytime as per pics on our website.
Please don't hesitate to reach out again if there is anything else you need."

Can you post a pic?
I just put mine in and they are pretty good. But are more visible if you look at them at a bit more of an angle if that makes sense. As per the photos on the stedi website.

[MLCE WILSON]

Just took these images now (work is a little quiet at the moment )
They dont do the situation justice but the Stedi DRL's are definitely more visible from an angle rather than head on

Yea that's about what mine look like too.

Rehash of old post.

Is there anything on the market completely white/clear that is a direct replacement for the DRL's in the NX Deluxe bar? (Not the fog's) I liked the bright white factory DRL.

Cheers

From memory the NX "Deluxe" bar is actually a cross bred Summit bar (Summit bumper section with the older style, slightly smaller diameter pipe work same as Deluxe bar).
As such the Stedi Summit bar fogs/DRL lights fit. These have white fog and DRL. Might have amber indicator, but I have never wired it up.

Yeah, I saw those (also saw quite few complaints re the brightness of the DRL section of the light), though I was hoping to just get the flat DRL seperate from the fog spots.

Yes, I was disappointed as well, so wired the fogs up as DRLs instead.

Brilliant idea!!! Saved the day literally

No it's not.

Apart from the fact that it's illegal (at least here in Australia) it's inconsiderate and potentially dangerous.

Lights all have specific purposes and they're designed with outputs and beam patterns to achieve those purposes. DRLs actually have a beam pattern which is quite close to that of high beams but at a much lower intensity, so as not to dazzle other drivers. Fog lights are designed for use in fog, only, and have a beam pattern and intensity which is, respectively, completely different and much higher. To make matters worse, many fog lights, even OEM ones, don't comply with the relevant ADRs (or NZDRs as may be the case), producing much higher levels of glare. Most will have experienced the uncomfortable light levels output by late model Commodores and Falcons when the fog lights are on because the driver thinks it's "cool". It's not cool, it's dumb and marks that driver, in my mind, as a fool.

If you want DRLs then buy specific DRLs from a known brand manufacturer - Hella, Narva, Philips are just a few, not from some el-cheapo Ebay site who makes ridiculous claims but can't back up those claims with actual test results.

[grumpmeister]

100% agree with NFT5

Nothing worse then people using fogs as DRL's, it's a bloody nuisance, almost as bad as the ones who insist on fitting high output LED headlight globes to standard headlights or upgraded LED headlight units that are not made for AU, it's downright dangerous & just blinds oncoming traffic.

Stand way back and look at your Stedi DRL's from the perspective of an oncoming vehicle, they are probably not that dull from that perspective...
Another legal option to try would be the Stedi DRL/Fog kit for the Ironman deluxe bar, you may be able to retro fit them for the ARB bar..

Gosh almighty‼️ I don't want to blind anyone 🤣
Just out of curiosity, do you know if any of these manufactures make one to fit the ARB Summit/Deluxe for the NX?
