have you wired the cornering function sir?

The Canbus signal is different so won’t support it sir Don’t waste your time!

And worth a quick mention When mine has a ctek connected, it makes the DRL’s flash on for 10secs once every few mins without the ignition turned on! Locked or unlocked! Just a strange phenomenon sir

Just incase it happens to yours too? It does happen to a customers car too

Thanks Craig! I don´t like to wired this at turn lights.
No flash problems!
Also I need to find the Terminal 15 (ignition).

Very nice, you have done a very thorough job, that rusty seam you cleaned off will re rust unless you have put some antirust treatment inside the box section to get into the seam, the rust is from the unpainted edges that were welded together...

There are lots of ignition live wires in the waterproof box under the bonnet, I needed one for the fans, just had a probe about with a meter till I found one then ran a relay from it... Pete

great work. Been wanting to upgrade the stock fogs on my 2008 to LED but have not b/c I don't want to deal with the headache of splicing/tapping into wires/relays and the malfunction lights on the dash etc.

The DRL is a bit of an odd shape/design no? 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Finally, I've dismantled whole front for rewiring correctly. Osram´s permit a optional wiring to have a 80% of DRLs when position lights is enabled. Instead of connecting the brown wire to ground must be connected to positive, and the dimmer effect is achieved....I like this! Also I made the new wiring to so that the system can be removed without cutting wires.
At the moment I'm not interested to connect the cornering lights option at turnlights. This option allows turn on the fog light when turnlight is enabled, warnings also.

1- A new four poles Deutsch connector with two wires to fuse box (red/blue) and two wires to number 2 connector (yellow/black)

2- OEM bumper connector. I soldered the wires into de pins to Fog lights.

3- Wiring to fuse box

My "technique" to weld: First, I removed the pin from connector and retired the seal. I sanded the pin with a file and insert the wire, then weld it. Insert the pin into connector and seal. Secure with strip.

Pete, I found the appropriate wire! When ignition turned off allows DRLs 20 seconds courtesy and then off. Perfect!

In the row, third connector (black)

Now I work to embed the Osram fuse in the FFRR fuse box. I bought a Mondeo fuse box to try to do it.

Small connector for position light (white). I left a wire ready for cornering lights. (grey)

Hi, I approach to the end...
Today I made a small stainless steel plate to fix the out connectors and reinstalled all the front.
