I want to fit some DRL lights to my 2011 RRS, does anybody know if there is an ignition on/off connection in the fuse box I can use?
I did this on my older RRS but the fuse box seemed slightly different, I can't test anything as I've lost my voltmeter to test.
Anyone help with this?

When I fitted my DRLs it came with a new spade connector to insert in to the fuse box connector. I can get you the location number if you would like. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Pin 19 on connector CO582 (the one that plugs into the front of the fuse box) and change fuse 58 for a 3 amp.

Connector CO11 (Right head lamp) pin 2 (red/orange wire I think) is the wire that switches the drls on and off with the side lights (That’s land rovers recomended connecting wire). When the side lights come on the DRLs switch off. I thought about using the wire for the main beam so I could have the DRLs on with the signature LED side lights but decided they may be to bright in the evening. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

I used Fuse 52 but I think Fuse 54 is also a Ignition Live in the passengers footwell fuse box, if you have AFS headlights you could use Pin No. 14 in the headlamp plugs, Red wire with Orange tracer R/H headlight, Red wire with Black tracer L/H headlight. Or you could use Drivers seat heater relay R1 red wire in engine compartment fuse box. I have previously used all three for ignition lives with no problems.

It looks like you have the info you need above. But I’ll just chip in with this link. It’s an example of one of several DRL products they supply and their site does host some diagrams and fitting information if you poke around.

You could also consider the Land Rover original DRLs for the L320 as well. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Genuine L/R ones are at least now down to £200.00 a set, used to be priced at a ridiculous £400.00 + a set, which would probably explain why nobody bought them then.

Cols right, I bought mine for a fraction under £200 on special offer. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

If you Google VPLSV0065 (A/B bumper Kit) or VPLSV0064 (HSE/SE bumper Kit) might turn something up on the likes ebay. The only thing is some of the after market kits just dim the DRL's when dipped/main beam headlights are switched on, where as I'm not sure but I think the L/R one's turn off completely, although I imagine this could be overcome with some sort of relay or controller unit.

Yes the Land Rover ones turn off when the side lights are turned on. I was thinking of changing mine to turn off when the main turn on. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

If I remember right, I think the controller on mine is wired to pin 11 dipped headlights so they dim when dip/main are on, also when switch is in auto position.

I now have my DRL light strips I want to fit.
Are either of the spare relay sockets ignition live? If so can i use these?

Finally found a DRL strip to fit that would also be bright enough during the day as some are to dull.
I have wired them up to come on when the ignition is turned on, then they go off when the ignition is turned off with a 30 second delay all independent of the lights.

Looks very neat,
looks like they have always been in there.. ===========================================
