Want to fit a few addittional lights to the front of the cab(DAFXF) just want to fit small Blue or Amber lights to front grill and possibly some under bumper. But not very good with electrics, how do i wire them all up so they come on with the sidelights, also how do you wire up the Red markers that you can fit on the edge of the rear cab spoiler!! sorry might seem a dumb question 
just take a feed off of any side light bulb wire, a clue on the DAF, any lights are yellow wires for the live.
if they are LED, be aware that they have a positive and a negative, if you wire it up and it does ot work, swap the wires over 
do i then just daisy chain them all together, or do all the lights have to be wired separately 
Daisy chain is fine, make sure you do good water proof joints, will save aggro in the long runâŚ
For gawds sake do NOT use scotchblocks!!
didnt realise trying to buy a few markers lights was so difficult!!! are these ok for the front grill?? Saw these on the CDC site;
store.truckstuff.co.uk/_4BEE56B ⌠l&pid=6763
What do others use & where did you buy them?
Btw, you cant display blue and green lights (I think) at the front of a vehicle - I got pulled by the police for having 2 little blue lights at the front of my car 
I thought you could so long as they dont flash, it has been discussed on here before and i am sure that was the general consensus. If not then a lot of truckers are running illegally as i see many about with blue LEDâs etc on the front of their truck

well, that particular copper obviously didnât get a jump the night before, because he was in the wrong.
Pecjam has almost got it right.
you are allowed them on the front of the vehicle as long as they donât flash, AND the outer marker lights as fitted by the manufacturer (side light in headlamp and top cab marker light) must be white, you can have any other colour you like on the front apart from red.
hope this finally clears up this argumant (probably wonât though )
by the look of this blue lights are allowed as long as they dont flash but the HAVE to be disconnected when going for MOT or its a fail.
any colour at the front has to be disconnected for MOT but can be connected up agin after passing (if it passes 
) clear LEDS do not have to be disconnected and can stay wired up
or so im told
sam
the blue marker lights in the lobar and in the spotlamps and the headboard markers are perfectly legal and DO NOT have to be disconnected for MoT, however, the sidelight marker, in this case, the ones just above the indicator lamp and also the markers in each end of the sunvisor would have to be changed back to white for it to pass.
i have sent trucks with blue sidelight bulbs in the extra spotlamps on the bars for MoT and never had a problem
oh i was told that the LEDs in the lightbar and the side markers had to be disconnected and that the spots were ok, maybe they are just over cautious here
Mr Shuttle speaks the truth! 
You are not allowed any blue lights on the front of your car as people may think youâre a police car & you could be done for impersonating a cop. Nothing to do with whether they flash or not as that doesnât matter.
However you are allowed on a truck as no1 would mistake a truck for a police car!!!

As is normal with âheard it down the pubâ, the general concensus is wrong as is pretty much every single post in here saying you can have blue/green etc because âitâs fitted to a lorryâ.
Under UK law only the following is legal:
Forward facing: white and amber
Rearward facing: red and amber.
Side marker lights may be amber or split white/red with the red facing rearwards.
With the exception of direction indicators and stop lamps, all lamps must display a steady light.
Blue lights are only for use by authorised emergency vehicles.
Green flashing beacons for use by authorised doctors.
Amber beacons for service vehicles such as breakdown.
Red beacon - unassigned. Open use.

No you are not. Bomb disposal, fire engines and City of London armoured vehicles use blue lights.

Nowhere in the lighting regulations does it state that additional lights can only be amber or white at the front. The front positional lamps have to be either white or yellow, which on a truck are 2 top and 2 bottom lamps. It only specifies that no red lights at the front and no white lights at the rear.
Blue lamps are perfectly legal as an addition, as are green. A non flashing blue marker light is not the same as a warning beacon. If you think a marker light and a warning beacon is the same then I seriously hope you never have to tow a large load.
Most drivers i know get there leds from the trailer shop foc of course. Red lights up the back of the cab are very tricky to get right and tidy,do the grill first ,this will give you experience/confidence. Block connect your wiring and cable tie/ductape where possible. If a wire shakes on the move chances are it wil break sooner rather than later.
White/orange lights look best up front imo.
i knew one of the anti blue light brigade would bring this thread to life
btw conor mines just been for test with 2 kelsa bars with blue leds fitted and no problems at all
On the other hand if you have them live with your lights on and a bulb goes you could get pulled but if you have them on a indipendent switch it could and I only say could save you the hassel of getting pulled at night till you get the bulb sorted
Just a thought
