I moved to France with my 1997 110 300TDi and have a problem, it will not pass it's mot here because of the dim dipped headlights. When the sidelights are on and the engine is running the headlights come on dim. I looked in the manual and it is what should happen, but was only fitted to UK models. I need to disconnect this, anyone have an idea where to disconnect or what wire to cut.

There's a voltage reduction thing behind the speedo bit of the dash. You may be able to just unplug it.

it's not in the wing under the bonnet, you have to remove the wheel arch spat and look underneath it's between the two skins. One on each side I'm pretty sure they are the ones that drop the voltage down to 6 volts

Quoting from Haines'
"To comply with UK regulations, a "dim-dip" lighting system is fitted to most UK models. The system comprises of a control unit which is situated behind the instrument panel".
Unfortunately I don't know any more, except what someone posted ages ago about finding something odd behind the speedo bit of the dash and discovering that it was this control unit.
