DRLs

So the dealer says the fairy lights can't be programmed as daytime running light yet a quick search reveals that a few have it and I've seen some on the road with just fronts on? Is it year specific or do I just need to find an indi that knows what they are doing ? How have people done it or was it like that from build.

as alistair says..invest in a GAP iidtool and you can change many car configuration files [ccf] and have things like one press superlock, beep on lock/unlock, digital speedo readout [small but otherwise very useful] etc etc...

contact our site sponsor dan @ duckworths in their dedicated section for a competitive price... ... - .- -.

Thanks guys but with my technical prowess that sounds like a expensive way to make my car never work again or sound the horn every time it changes gear....😀
Can an indi do it as from experience I'd much prefer to pay someone that knows what they are doing ?

Switched my DRL's on with an IID tool. Dead simple, took less than 5 minutes. If you're not confident find a willing 8 year old Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

Seems a bit excessive just to get them activated, don't think I'd ever use it again after. Can't see why the dealer can't do it if it's possible. Will put the idea on the back burner and maybe hunt down a specialist one day to do it.

another option may be to find a willing owner and buy another vin code

I don't believe the ever had DRL's from the factory. That law came in after they stopped making them - in the UK anyway. That's why it's not so easy to do and you need a decent diagnostic tool to modify the config. Not even sure a dealer would do it, but a decent Indy might..... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

tbh the little leds on the headlights are a sad effort for a drl, very few and not very bright ...its best to convert the fogs like a few members [and me] have done.. ... - .- -.

Thanks chaps, will survive without them as can't see the point in getting an iidtool just to turn them on.

I set the option but as they were so dull I quickly returned to the Scandinavian headlight DRL option.

I used my IID tool to use the mains as DRL''s .

Like Stan says, the led''s alone are pitiful.
