ratmanrover Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hi Mates got a 300tdi defender the headlights come on when light switch is on position1 for side lights? Its probably been covered but is there a way to modify the wiring? so only side lights come on and not both? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 that will be DIM DIP headlights, not the normal dip beam, dim dip only operates when the engine is running, the relay senses the oil pressure signal & operates it contacts for dim dip you can remove the relay & either fit a jumper wire as in post 11 here http://forums.lr4x4....showtopic=80272 or the more tidier solution is to fit the dummy relay as in post 13 in the same thread, item is http://www.brit-car....hp?xProd=138745 dim dip is no longer a requirement since around 2006, EU & UK repealed the requirement.

Simon Smith Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I didn't know they made a dummy relay. I made my own by taking the original apart, removing the innards and linking the two terminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
