Hi Kelvo,
Will be doing this to mine soon. What is the purpose of the switch? I would have thought if you splice in the resistors that would be all that would be needed and should be fine for either led or conventional light trailers?
Had to do similar with the Defender when running LEDS but no switch.
Cheers
Craig

Interesting. I know I had to do the same with the Defender TD5 but didnt require the switch and it all worked as it should, but that does not have all the electrics the D4 has either.Quote:

Thanks for the reply I know have one of three options.

There’s a 4th option, a clever unit that senses when it’s needed.Quote:

OUch. For a car that should have been set up to cope with this from factory.Quote:
