teamplayer Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The headlights (dip) are staying on even when the key is removed from the ignition. I have checked the obvious such as are they switched on etc but I have to remove the fuses in order to turn the lights off. any suggestions as to what to try next? Sometime ago I noticed that the headlights came on when I selected reverse gear but this seemed to heal itself and I thought nothing of it after that.

Regards Mie Stockport It sounds like the Dim-Dip Transformer has failed. It's mounted on the bulkhead behind the instrument cluster (and is a right PITA to get to), it looks like this - It's Part No. PRC8123 for Halogen Headlamps and Part No. PRC6336 for Sealed Beam Headlamps If you don't want the cost of replacing it (they can be very expensive, depending on which type of headlamps you have), you can just unplug it and have normal headlamps without the Dim-Dip function. Dim-Dip isn't a legal requirement and your Land Rover will still pass an MOT without it. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for me though Oooh, I'm not quite that sad If I need a picture of a Land Rover part, I pinch it from this lot - http://www.lrseries.com/ They have pictures of most Land Rover parts on their website. I've never used them, but their prices seem OK for some things. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamplayer Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Oooh, I'm not quite that sad Paul. Sad, definately not. I meant you could be the sort of chap that helps a lot of folks therefore maybe has his own archive of photos to draw upon. Sad, no, enthusiast, yes.. Thanks again Paul Mike Stockport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
