Day Light lights

I fitted new day light lights to my 2011 Freelander everything was okay had it wired by an auto electrician, but on the last test because it is linked into the indicators when I use my hazard lights the daylight lights flash as well. which was an advisory on my MOT but I wonder if it will pass next time with all the changes. Freelander 2 TD4 GS 2011 Manual Satorini Black (Current)

Was he an auto electrician with LR diagnostic equipment or an auto electrician that wires up direct to battery via relay and fuse?

I am not sure but it was a reputable electrician (East Lanc's Auto electrics), they replaced my existing fog lights with these dual Fog and Daylight LED lamps. The lamps have there own control box to work with the indicators so it illuminates the road when turning right or left. Freelander 2 TD4 GS 2011 Manual Satorini Black (Current)

With ref to above,the really interesting one is the headlight washers.How many testing stations are aware of the(let's say odd way in which they seem to have been designed by Lr.)
Has anyone so far(I know it's early days)had their fl2 failed due to the ignorance of the testing station,and,how did they sort it out? To get a pass ticket?


Just had my car tested this morning and passed no problem. The garage I use is an LR specialist but I asked about the headlight washers. The answer was that if you turn the headlights on then off then the washers usually operate the next time the windscreen washers are used. This apparently is the same for most makes of cars.

I asked if more cars are failing under the new MOT rules the answer was yes. The first car the guy had tested under the new rules failed for a crack in a CV boot, under the old rules as the crack wasn't letting dirt in or oil out it would have been an advisory. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.
