Hi all can any one help , my freelander 2 year 2007 has the signature drl headlight's fitted along with bumpers etc the problem i'm getting is the drl's come on when i start the car and when i put the headlights or side lights on the round drl stay on ?this was like this when i bought the car doe's anyone know how to turn them off or know anyone in the merseyside area that can point me in the right direction, don't mind paying to have them put right but don't fancy a land rover dealer and yes they are genuine LR Headlights

As they are an Up-Date fitment and not standard for that model year, it depends on how they are wired
It is not a case of select on or off through a body control module.
I would say these have been wired through a 'switched live' ignition circuit.
Mine is an 09 plate, When I installed my up-date lamps I left all the wiring in the vehicle as it was and re-wired the internal wires of each headlamp.
Different people different ways.

I hope this helps.

You probably need to get someone to try different settings in the car configuration files. However, since these lights would not have been the originals fitted to the car, I wonder if there is a mis-match between the configuration settings available on the car and the lights available. The available options on mine are shown below, but i’m not sure that any of these would give you what you are looking for.

thank's to you both for replying i'm still in the dark, talking electrics is not up my street clueless on that subject ,fitting parts etc i can do but electrics no chance

I have to ask ........... why do you want to turn them off ??

The DRLs will be far too bright at night when left in daylight mode.

You can buy a DRL day/night switching box as an accessory from loads of places, take a search on eBay or the like. Regards
