2010 D4 headlight upgrade to 2014 Xenon spec help needed!
Hi, new to the site and think ive found a post similar but missing bits.
I have a discovery 4 2010 xenon spec, just fitted the 2014 headlights. I have 2 problems.
Firstly when the headlights are off, and you flash. The mechanism moves but the xenon does not ignite. Do i need to piggyback a wire inside the headlight? If so could you please help with which ones and best way to do it. Or how you advise to do it.
Secondly my DRLs don't turn on. I know they need a feed, is it 12v so i can run a relay? If so which pin does it need to connect with?
Any helo would be much appreciated as don't have access to my original lights and the MOT is due very soon!!
Thank you in advance.

Hi Xed,
DRL will work correctly with a CCF (Car Configuration File) Edit .
Problems I know of at the moment with a MY14 light upgrade:
No dimming of DRL when indicating - can live with and no known solution at the moment (I think it'll need an updated headlight CPU)
No Flash when lights are off - can't live with - needs mod - some discussion here on fixing that issue
http://disco4.com/forum/topic163276.html
The answer is to get the CCF sorted. Put out a shout for somebody local to you to help out. Failing that drive to one of the forum supporters and get them to do it with their diagnostic tool.
If you start messing around with wiring, you might cause more problems than you currently have and will be in unchartered territory.Mods:
Front Fogs + Halos
FBH Remote Control
The 1st Ever RRS Modded Grill
Garmin Nuvi + D4 Surround + Reversing Camera.
D4 Steering Wheel.
Rear Boot Spoiler.
Twin Brake Lights.
Wing Mirror Indicator Repeaters.
Long Roof Rails
Make your own Narpy grill thread
I'm not scared, I'm outta here.

let us know how you get on
Here my scheme (with one relay for each headlight) for enabling the flash (PASS) function with the headlight switched OFF
(assuming that the shutter is always working)
In that case the scheme is showing the circuit for the LH headlight (connector C0009). It's necessary to replicate it for the RH headlight (connector C0011)
