why would it?
I have h4/2 hid kit in my disco and both hi and low beam are both hid.
so why would u need to disable it?

I have just fitted Hid to my 1995 def 300tdi which has dim dip, i fitted my hid's through a relay so the dim dip made the relay come on, both on side and dipped so there was no difference between the stalk.
I used these threads for mine but not to sure if it's the same on a TD5.

Dim/dip lights - help please! - Defender Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum
And i just bridged the two wires but if you want the proper relay (not sure if is same on td5) you can buy it from here.

Hope this helps

Just for the record HIDs are illegal to retro-fit unless the correct criteria has been followed.

im sure a lot of vehicles on the road have far more serious things wrong with them than some headlight bulbs..
if bulbs are supposed to have a specific light output then why do people like halfrauds do bulbs that give 120% more light output? surely there more blinding

They will pass an MOT but are illegal to fit since 2010, someone needs to prove this though to prosecute though so it's one of those laws that get ignored really...

until vosa or traffic officer check the production date and inspection sticker and find it was post 2012.
