Well thanks to Stan and the IDTool I got the fairy lights round the headlights to come on with the ignition, I know they are not DRLs but I like the look and Christmas is coming so fairy lights are appropriate. Geoff |

Yes they are L322 2010 onward, I used an IDTool, there may be other ways Geoff |

I assume they’re just for effect rather than any functional use?

Hi Geoff - I quite like the idea of these coming on with the ignition.

Carpcat, they are the normal front sidelights...... set to come on with ignition.

You can use the sidelight switch but that will also turn on the rear lights as well, however if you don't want this and you just want the front side lights to come on with the ignition and with the light switch set to off simply use the IIDTool to turn on DRLs and also enabled both Scandinavian and Canadian modes. Worked for me. Geoff |

Indeed, I was more replying to the query about them being for effect than anything else. If you don’t have a 2010 onwards, you might not realise they are the front sidelights that was all.

I always have my lights on auto so this probably explains why I’ve never seen them....what happens if you turn them on with ignition using the IID Tool and turn the light switch to Auto? Do the fairy lights still light up or do you need the switch turned to off still? Chris |

Auto just works as normal, fairy lights just stay on all the time. Geoff |

I used the IID tool to turn on the dipped beam headlights as DRL's.....the fairy lights are pretty weak for a DRL.

DRL were made law in 2011 so all vehicles have to have them fitted , I guess LR decided to get in early , I really like them on cars but we were big Volvo fans when I was growing up so that may explain that |

Driving the car today, everything fine fairy lights on but when the dipped headlights automatically switched on - they stayed on (tail lights went out) , so a bit more work to do. Geoff |
