Dim dip headlight deactivation...
Chaps, I have fitted LED headlamps to my 2010 110 and the headlamps light up with the ignition on in the sidelight position... I'm assuming this is the Dim Dip facility? If so, can it easily be disabled?

Many thanks in advance...

Yes easily disabled.

Get the pink relay out and bridge the large two terminals together on the relay holder with a suitable piece of wire with two terminals crimped on it. Thumbs Up

An alternative and probably simpler method is to locate the dim-dip resistor under the front offside wing (midway between the radio aerial and the plastic panel on the wingtop) and unplug the connector from it. Job done.

I did this, but also bought a replacement plug set, bunged the ends up with Dum Dum then plugged them into the exiting plugs

This way water is kept outbox the open terminals.
