No they don’t, but being on the other end of the unit they don’t really conflict much luckily.

Okay so with much assistance from mr 1.9Tdi I can confirm the relay works! DRLs come on with the ignition, stay on with sidelights and then switch off when low beam is switched on. After a bit of faffing I’ve got it sussed and here is the correct wiring for anyone who might need to know. You will ne...

I can't see why the headlight wire at the back of the light switch, together with a nearby earth, shouldn't work. Maybe this is where I am wrong? I have simply split the Dipped beam switch wire and fitted the coil of the relay in between, rather than splicing the cable into one side of the relay an...

I haven’t actually tried the parking lights since messing with the connections etc but they weren’t working when I bought it so possibly still not :-? .

Hi again, So I have finally got round to attempting to finish the lights (ran out of crimps the first time :-q ) The changeover relay works exactly as expected, that is allows the DRLs to run on ignition live until the dipped beam circuit is livened up, at which point it switches the DRLs off. Howev...

After a little look behind the headlights and also sorting out some existing sidelight issues, I’m pretty sure I’ve got it sussed out. As for the common Earth I will have to double check, it appeared they were separate but I could be wrong. This national ‘lockdown’ situation will give me some perfec...

Absolutely perfect response! Time to get tinkering then
Cheers

The previous owner had taken great care of the car and made some modifications to it, one of which being aftermarket headlights. Here is a link to the lights fitted, and just in case, a pho...
