Running lights

**JelT5** · Monday 3rd May 2010, 06:50

Having probs turning the running lights...turned the small grubscrew to the correct position to switch em off but they're still on. Humph!

New headlamp switch or just check the connections or what?

Thanks in advance

You can use the grub screw on some 850 models but not all for some reason. Mine would not work to turn off the running lights completely. If you want to turn them off but still keep everything working correctly you can fold over a tab /leg on the lighting relay in the main fuse box. Its leg 56b IIRC but I will do a quick search then get back to you for sure.

Thanks for the info Alan

You cant turn the front off with the little screw only the rears,(well on mine anyway) Alan M's method is the only way.

Just a quick update- I have no running lights; that's a good thing...however when I switch on the sidelights, the parking lights come on lol and not the sidelights! Any ideas guys? Thinking about bending the tab back for now until I can investigate further. New relay needed p'raps?

it should bring on the little clear lights above the indicators, these are your sidelights. The headlights when there on dull are the DRL's (day running lights) not sidelights

Ah ha a bit different to the V70, I thought those little lights were the parking lights not the sidelights- thanks mate; have a bit of a learning curve on this ere 855
