Main beam cable colour

I’m fitting a light bar to my 2013 LR2 I’ve installed a loom with relay and a “override” switch in the control feed that will come from the main beam. My problem is try as I might I can’t find the main bean live cable on the back of the headlight module.
Anybody help with the cable colour ?

If it doesn't have main beam bulbs, then you'll need to use the feed for the shutter, but I don't know what colour the wires are you need. It's best to put a reverse blocking diode across the relay coil terminals. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

Can you post up a pic of the FRONT of the headlamp. 2013 it will likely (should) have the DRL where the main beam previously sat pre-facelift. That's what Nodge was referring to when he said "you don't have a main beam bulb" as for that headlight you have a single bulb that changes beam throw using a shutter in the projector assembly. Pre face-lift there was a dedicated full beam bulb and that worked in the traditional way (i.e. 12v+ in, lamp lights) while the shutter control is..... more complex than that.

Once we've confirmed the lamp you have then we can work back from there. Current driveway contents:
