Daytime Running Lights (DRL)

I can highly recommend the DRL supplied by Powerful UK. I ordered them online, £98

https://www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/land-r...l-kit.html

Took about 45 minutes to fit, really easy to wire up. Comes with all the bits including cable ties, connectors and scotch locks (though if you're going to do it properly solder the connections).

Gives you great Daytime Running Lights, auto dimming when the dipped beam comes on, and great fog lights too.

Or alternatively just set the existing lights to 'Scandanavian' mode.

^^^Yup....used SDD to turn mine off, I feel it shortens the life of the bulbs. Now that winter is around the corner, I might activate them again. Thumbs Up

What is the light output from the fog lights like? I have led bulbs in my standard fogs and they are not great. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I looked into the link above. It claimed in it's features ....

4) When you indicate the DRL on that side will go out so as not to obscure your indicator ( option feature if you connect your indicator feed to the controller )

This is only necessary when the DRL and the Indicator is in the same lamp cluster. I suspect they use a universal controller circuit board for many variants of lamp clusters.

It's just one wire, you can leave it disconnected and the lights won't go out when the indicators on. I've left mine disconnected cos there's quite a distance between fog and indicator.

There's a video on the link where they fit the kit, and at the end you can see the difference between standard fogs and the leds.
