03 D2 Headlights are always on---wtf

[00Disco2]

:banghead: :banghead: When I start my D2---no matter where the switch is positioned for the headlights, on or off----they are on. They work properly, brights work fine, but they cannot be turned off------W T F?

Any advice, thanks in advance!

i don't have a D2, but they're probably just daytime running lights....

sounds like DTR(daytime running lights) has been/is activated in the ecu. its an option to turn it on and off w/ testbook. what market are you located in? canada, australlia, US europe etc? has it always been this way?

 

[00Disco2]

I am in the US---I purchased the car 3 months ago from Texas and that is how it was when I got it. I cant turn them off and on, they stay on no matter what. I would like to change it to normal if possible

I thought DRL's were dimmer than low beam and used a resistor to accomplish that? I know I read that somewhere here, do a search.

if it is drl then all you have to do is go to the dealership and pay them some moneys and they can turn them off.

they are and he would know that if would spend the time to read the owners manual.

Thanks guys.

And 2 Hours to read the entire owners manual because my headlights are on----or 30 seconds to post on a forum for issues with discovery 2....hmmmm

so your just to lazy to read the manual and familerize yourself with your truck even with 3 months of time.
maybe if you tried to educate yourself you won't have to waste 30 second to ask a question you should have known for the last 3 months.

issues how are day time running lights issues, it's a option, but you would know that if you would :rtfm:

Purchased 3 months ago, have been in 10 different states since then traveling for business, putting me at home for about 10 total days since I bought the truck---not the first thing on my mind.

back to the subject, thanks for the help guys---im gonna take it by the dealership for the issue

Actually it would probably take 5 min after you found what page it was on in the index... lol good luck

When Greyhound Bus Lines started running with their headlights on 24h in the 80's they found a 25% reduction in collisions. If people can't see a bus during the day, why would you ever want to shut your headlights off?
