Daylight Running Lights (only when regular lights are on)
Hi everyone,
I have an 2013 XK convertible.. it is equipped with the LED bars around the main headlights.. but they only work when unlocking/locking the car.. and when I have the regular lights on.. They are not on during the day when my regular lights are off while driving... For security reasons (and mostly because it looks way cooler) I want to have them on during normal day driving as well.
So I asked the dealer, but they are not sure there is an option like this in the onboard computer and they will charge me around $150 for checking/enabling this in the computer (if available)..
Does anyone have an idea if this option is available and if it's as easy as 123 to switch it on ?

Nice car! Not cheap.
OK.... I get the idea...
Looks pretty cheap. They are unlikely to get many requests like this - yours is probably the only one so far. Thy want to charge, not really a surprise, so why not pay them?
Better still, post the outcome

I found the wiring harness and spliced this relay into headlight so that when i start the car the LEDs go on Found this through a search after the dealer told me they couldn't do it. I've had it working this way for 7 months now

Defo country specific as a legal requirement in the EU to have DRL's working in all situation since 2011, even when all other lights were switched off.

So agree the software fix is the best one and am sure it won't contravene any local UAE laws
Plus on an XK it looks soooooo kewl!
