Daytime Running Light options
Long story short - was at a garage using their diagnostic laptop thing to look at the options for turning the Park Heater and remote heater options on - there were two options elsewhere under 'Daytime Runnng Lights' for turning on either "Canadian" and "Scandinavian" (I think it was) options.
I didn't think I (2014 XS non-xenon) had DLR's, or am I missing something??
What are the two options above for?
Thanks

Not missing anything SC. The Scando setting is for switching on dipped beam automagically. Canadian setting is similar. I think the Canadian setting only has the dipped beams on when not in P or when the parking brake is off. The Scandinavians have the lights on all the time when engine is running.D1 300Tdi - gone

From workshop manual:
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) - Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Description and Operation
DRL use the full intensity low beam headlamps which are permanently illuminated when the vehicle is being driven. DRL are used in a number of markets and there are two systems to cover these markets.
DRL CANADIAN MARKET
DRL for this market use full intensity low beam headlamps. The side marker lamps and license plate lamps will be on, but instrument cluster illumination will be off. DRL are active when the following parameters are met:
Parking brake is off on vehicles with manual transmission or PARK is not selected on vehicles with automatic transmission
Ignition switch is in the ignition position (II)
The central junction box receives an engine running signal
The lighting control switch is in the off or side lamps position.
• NOTE: If the lighting control switch is moved to the headlamp position, DRL are deactivated and normal side lamp and headlamp functionality is operational.
• NOTE: Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) (where fitted) is not available when the DRL are active.
• NOTE: When DRL are active, the headlamp flash function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will operate normally. The high beam headlamp function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will be deactivated.
When the parking brake is applied on manual transmission vehicles or the selector lever is in the PARK position on automatic transmission vehicles, DRL are turned off. This is to reduce battery discharge during long periods of engine idling in cold climate conditions. When the parking brake is released or the selector lever is moved from the PARK position, normal DRL functionality is restored.
DRL DENMARK, HOLLAND, NORWAY, SWEDEN, FINLAND & POLAND
DRL for these markets use full intensity low beam headlamps. Side lamps and license plate lamps will be on, but instrument cluster illumination will be off. DRL are active when the following parameters are met:
Ignition switch is in the ignition position (II)
The central junction box receives an engine running signal The lighting control switch is in the off position.
• NOTE: When DRL are active, the headlamp flash function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will operate normally. The high beam headlamp function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will be deactivated.
If the lighting control switch is moved to the side lamp or headlamp positions, DRL are deactivated and normal side lamp and headlamp functionality is operational.Discovery 5 tdv6 HSE Corris Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition IID Pro MV License

I’ve my D3 set to Scandinavian, lights on always. I tried Canadian but it turns off the lights if you put on the handbrake which I didn’t like.

I configured Scandinavia DRL but noticed in the above workshop manual quote that the light switch would need to be in off position for DRL to be active. I’ve got it on auto and the lights are always on, even when there is sunshine (I can try it the next time sometime in the spring ) - obviously it is fine for me that they behave like that but you might need to experiment on what you feel is the best. Behavior was the same for the D4 I had previously. Only complaint, really, is that the instrument cluster is not constantly illuminated since it doesn’t follow this.

Thanks everyone.
I also have my lights set to Auto and they seem to be on all the time, just assumed it was because of the duller winter light we’d been having lately.
I was looking at the OSRAM DRL/FOG LED fog lights that are for the RR Sport. They're not cheap, but they've got a controller already in the harness which will turn the DRLs off when the lights are on. They can also be linked to the cornering lights. If I can get the cornering lights turned on on a non fitted headlamp I wonder if they can act as cornering lights by themselves?
They're sold by Powerful who have impressed me with their LEDs so far.1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

On the D3 I had the cornering lights enabled without the bulbs in so it might be possible as well on a D4. You could try enabling the cornering lights and piggy back off the wires as a test.

The cornering lamps on the osram kit work with your indicators... Turn left ind on and the left fog comes on and visa versa 15.5MY XS in Corris Grey with Black & Almond leather
Thanks Erea, I'll see what can be done. Looking at the circuit diagrams it's on pin 4 so if it's there, there's hope!1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

I saw that on the video for the RRS, however that means they also come on with the hazard lights. If I can enable cornering lights then it will be a better job.1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8

You better check do these work with the indicators OR the cornering lights. I’m guessing it’s one OR the other. Indicator feed will be pulsing whereas the cornering feed will be constant. It might be that if they get feed from both indicators at the same time they don’t light.
Looking at the video, it's either indicators or cornering lights. I think it sees the first pulse from the indicator as a trigger and depending on the interval between pulses it waits for a set time after the last received pulse to turn them off. There will probably be a delay where the indicators are off and the cornering light is still on.
I'll get in touch with them and see if they can be fitted to the D4 as well as the Sport.1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8
