Just typed in DRL regs into google, Halfords site says sidelights as you say, talk ford site says headlamps and I think it was teoc or similar that had a quote from Halfords saying pre-2011, you can manually switch them off so totally confused now. If I see one of the boys in blue parked up I...

Thanks, I did originally have them wired that way but when I checked the regs it said to go off when dipped beam on. Will check again and change back if required.

Was only resting cables on battery terminals to test so not ideal so properly wired them in and now they work only when engine on, and go off when dipped beam on as they should. stay on for about 10 secs after turning off but I can live with that. I think they look great, £3 inc del off eBay for...

Quick update, tried again direct to battery (earth and live) and they do stay on for a few secs then go out and don't come back on, getting very p o now. Thinking of just getting a relay from motor factors but not sure which one to get. Again, help appreciated.

Ok cheers, the cable from switch to lamps is quite long, power lead is not so. Will try it tomorrow.

If I wire them direct to battery-yes.

Right, tried wiring from several different live feeds and now they still flash slowly when ignition on so tried starting engine and they work just fine! Any ideas? Am told that to leave them like this would be an MOT failure.

Just had another thought, after testing headlamps and finding all seems ok, it occurred to me that this Landy is '91 and has the dim/dip feature where the headlamps come on dimly when sidelights are on and ignition switched on. Might try to wire into dipped beam and see if it has any effect.

Thanks, will try that. Now you mention the headlights, I do remember having a problem about a year ago where there was a poor connection involving main beam which led to headlights turning themselves on and off just as you looked at them (without touching anything) might be that I've knocked...

Currently driving a Defender 300tdi 90. Had it 3 years now, previously had 200tdi 90, 300 Disco and TD5 Disco. Sorry for erratic replies, at work

Hi, I've seen the Twisted Performance vehicles with their led running lamps in front bumper and wanted to recreate my own. Together with an auto switch harness/relay, I've wired them as the diagram, black to battery earth, red to a point that's live when ignition on (cig lighter) and orange into...
