What DRLs are those? Would help if you filled your profile in then we would have some idea which model you have. Wink

AFAIK the only (so called) DRL setting (Canadian) automatically puts on dipped beam and tail lights as per Volvo's of a few years ago

Ive updated profile but not showing yet. Its a 2005 supercharged model. The led's look like newer oem ones and are in the headlight. Dotted around the dipped headlight. At the moment they are turned on by turning on parking lights (no wiring has been altered in car apart from headlight itself. All i want is the leds to work without turning on my rear cluster too. Black Range Rover Sport Supercharged 2005 with exterior overfinch bodykit

If you have installed newer type lights with LEDs these are not DRLs, they are not bright enough

If you have installed DRL LEDs they will have a separate wiring loom which needs to be connected to a controller. There was someone selling brighter LEDs to replace the standard ones but these will still require a separate loom and controller to work in the way you are wanting

Only new model RRS has DRL facility other than the option I mentioned above

These are the lights here, I didnt fit them they were done by a company who converts headlights and does 2010 upgrades, the picture doesn't do justice but they are very bright.

Looks as though all they have done is fit brighter LEDs, in which case you will either have to keep turning on the sidelights (no great hardship) or find a way of modifying the wiring which, on modern cars with all their complicated electrics, I wouldn't want to attempt.

Best way of utilising a true ignition live under the bonnet is the piggy back on the fuel pump fuse

Piggy back'ing off of the fuel pump fuse isn't the best way, in my experience. My car stopped working after I did this, and both LR and my local garage said it was a silly way of wiring the DRL's. There is a free ignition live just around the block from the fuel pump fuse Thumbs Up Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
DONE: Meduza front bumper, AB rear bumper, AB tailpipes, calipers repainted, rear upper tailgate upgrade, side steps, AB front grille, AB side vents, rear LED lights, clear side repeaters, integrated daytime running lights, LED headlights.
TO DO: color code sills and pillars.
