Ignore me! The DRL only is blanked off so the only option is DRL & position light.

I don't know for sure it may be when the side lights get switched on they dim the DRL's. through the Control Module I do know the Phillips kit's do it.

So that's a controller, and the lights are seperate then? If that's the case, the my initial thoughts would be that the red and black are the supply for the DRLs themselves, the lights connect via one of the connectors (maybe dependant on different versions?) and the middle cables are for the trigger feed(s) (perhaps one for sidelights, one for an ignition live?). Fuse wise, the primary aspect is normally to protect the wiring, so a fuse below the rating should be used (e.g. 17 amp cable would have a 15 amp or lower fuse). I'm assuming the lights are LEDs? If so, these will draw very little current, so even just a few amps would be enough, but the main thing is that it's lower than the wiring.

These are Land Rover LED's that were made for the earlier models. The full units fix into the bumper.

Right, so those are the actuall lights then. They seem (slightly) overly complex if you ask me!
