DRL when lights on Auto

I have a 2010 RRS with the standard headlights:

However the LED lights that are lit up in the picture only turn on when I set the lights to position 1, like normal sidelights. Is there any way they can always be on when the lights are in Auto mode?

It's easy enough to do with a mod to the wiring in the internal fusebox. See my posts in this thread...

Can you just clarify what that actually does? Have you just connected some wires together that run a constant +ve to the lights when the ignition is on?

It's not whilst the ignition is on, it's whilst the car is awake (ie. when it's unlocked). But yes, that's the principle. Kev

Great. Doesn't look too hard so I'll give it a go. Do the lights turn on when unlocking the car using the key?

Sorry, Last question.
If I didn't add the switch, is it just a simple case of changing 4 fuses to ones with breakout wires, and connecting fuse 49 wire to Fuse 24 wire and Fuse 50 wire to Fuse 25 wire?

That's correct. I did this initially then added the switch later. Kev

This mod works great, nice touch also is that LEDs come on when you unlock the car as well as always being on when car is "alive".
It would be great if we were able to fit brighter LEDs as current ones are not as bright as I would like

I’ve done this mod on my car. I’ve also modified the DRL to stay on with the sidelights so that both work together. When I originally carried out the mod, the DRLs wouldn’t work as the Land Rover instructions tell you to connect into the side light wire. I just changed that wire to the main light wire so now they go off with the main beam.

I know I'm an idiot, but I still can't get my head around how this works.

Fuse 24 and 25 are for the rear lights? and fuse 49 and 50 are for the front DRL lights? So how can connecting the two together turn the lights on all the time?

Fuse 24 and 25 are side lights i.e. the fairy lights you want to use as DRLs (as well as the rear lights).

Fuse 49 and 50 is the adaptive front lighting.

So the adaptive front lights wiring (whether you have them installed or not) has power from unlocking the vehicle so this powers the LEDs all the time the vehicle is unlocked up to the point the BCM goes to sleep (after a few minutes). 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

i don't know if the DRL's are different on a RRS to a FFRR, but the lights look the same! I used my IID tool to set the DRL's to one of the other settings Canadian/Scandinavian and that turns them on all the time also. Is this not possible on a RRS? seems much easier than messing about with wires. Current: 2010 RRS 3.6 TDV8 HSE

You can activate them in the CCF files but has to be in conjunction with headlight/tailight configuration no facility to activate the fairylights on their own.

There’s also a specific DRL CCF setting but I think this is just a standard EUC file and does nothing except give you 2 DTCs for them not working. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
