Hi to every one and glad to be here. (NEW MEMBER)

I live in the UK in Nottingham ( Robin Hood country near the Castle )

Have been the proud owner of three jaguars / XJ 3.2 1965 / X type Sport 3,0 2002 and present 2004 XJ 8 SE.

Would like to post my first thread of which is wiring of day time running lights.

As my car is wired Negative switched and of which some of you guys are aware of i would like some advice on a system to work for me here in the UK of DRL`S on with ignition and dim when side lights on.

This also being legal for drivers this side of the pond.

DRL`S fitted/ Philips 8 but not yet wired but will be hopefully soon

Thanks in advance and again glad to be here and hopefully give back some knowledge i have gained through the years and owning three great cars.

Your car should be fitted with DRLs from the factory.
If you have the touchscreen they can be enabled from there.
Not sure how you do it if you haven't though.

 

Hi Pete A.

These are after market pair from Philips lighting, DRL`S 8.

But many thanks for your reply and nice a member has replied to my very first post.

Was hoping i would receive more.

Hi Stuart,

Welcome to the Jaguar Forums!

I've been using the dealer-level JLR SDD software-based diagnostic system to service our '04 XJR, and I believe I have seen an option in that system to enable DRLs using the factory lamps. You might call a Jaguar mains agent to inquire about having this option enabled. Like Pete, I assume your car should already be equipped with the DRL function.

Does your Owner's Manual not describe DRL operation? Hopefully some of our U.K. X350 owners will reply.

Cheers,

Don
