Goffie - read my earlier post Whistle

Although it's possible that yours, being a MY11, should probably have the LEDs fitted to your halogen headlamps, if you can't see them when you turn on your sidelights, then they are not fitted Thumbs Up

You can enable the daytime running lights feature with IDS, Faultmate and I'm 99% certain with Autologic too, but they have nothing to do with the LED "fairy lights" and use the dipped beam headlamps.



Are you sure about this Paul???

I've seen a few D4's and RRS with LED 'fairy lights' on during the day when the other lights are all off, like on the Audi's and some new Merc's I'm pretty sure these are classed as DRL's.

I'm pretty sure Andy Thumbs Up

They probably just had their sidelights manually switched on as it looks cool Wink

On the Audis, Mercs and Opels with LED strips, they are really DRLs - they are both designed and approved as DRLs. In the case of the D4, I'm sure this isn't the case. The problem is that they look so similar that people have got confused as to their real function.
