Information please of installation of Daylight Running Lights

What vehicle are you running? I have a 2010 HSE, when purchased, I asked them to programme the lights to be 'always on', LR told me that it could not be done and that I would have to turn the lights on everytime I started the car. I then explained that this could be done as it is programmed on the cars in Finland and some other Scandanavian Countries

My 'daytime Led's' and Xenon headlights now come on with ignition

Much safer way of driving ( I'm an ex Motorcycle rider, old habits die hard) RRS 2010

I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Bought my RRS 2010 HSE in Italy and live in Sweden. LR Dealer re-programmed for "Scandinavian" and then you have day running lights front and back (I think there is another option for other countries with only front...).

In addition I keep light switch in automatic so it "automatically" turn on instrumentation light during night. Instrumentation light is not turned on by day running lights option.

good point, I'll change mine  RRS 2010

Do you have the new interior and if so do you have bluetooth in your car? Supposedly there should be bluetooth in mine but it doesn't work and struggling to find out if it is fitted or not. Not visible when dealer run diagnostic on the car.

Ok found out myself whilst waiting at the airport. Basically, Scandanavian turns on the headlights, whilst Canadian turns on the fog lights when drive or reverse is selected. Well at least in mine....

So no possiblity of sidelights only Back to turning lights on and off manually then

Hi Guyzer, when you say that the Scandinavian option in the CCF turns on the headlights, do you mean the full low beam or just the angel eye led side lights. As that is what I am trying to find out. Just ordered an IIDTool and was hoping I could edit the CCF to use the angel eye side lights as DRLs.

If not, I suppose I will have to settle for the Canadian option and use the fog lights.

Cheers,

Jeff

Jeff,

We've got different MYs.I'm running a 2006, you a 2011. You'd need to check specific to your vehicle set up and software. On mine at least scandanavian meant low beams not side lights.

Not sure what options the 2010+ models have.

Sorry can't help further.

Regards
