ah ok Taff, well if its any consolation its rather cold here

I fitted these to my AB a few years ago, take the bumper off of you intend to do it. The covers are held on with spring clips and pulling the cover will simply pull the little tabs off and they will never fit again.

I wired mine in slightly different to the instructions. Instead of them going off with the side lights coming on, I wired them to go off with the main beams. That way I have the DRL and fairly lights together.

Yes mine came with a control module that gave the same option to go off with headlight or sidelights depending on how you wired them but i didnt want them to go off at all so i bought a new dimmer module off amazon only about £12 this then dimmed the drl 50% when dipped come on so you can have drl on with sidelights and drl would be at 100% brightness but as soon as dipped is switched on drl still stay on but at 50% as mentioned.

This module also keeps the drl on when you lock the car so they become welcome home lights and lights have used the ignition feed in the headlight for drl activation so the drl come on as soon as you unlock the car making them welcome lights and home lights, So my advice is to buy one of these dimmer modules of ebay/amazon and do the same you get alot more features out of your drl’s then.

Just out of interest, does the A/B not have approach lights in the mirrors as standard or was it a option?

Cheers
