from memory ,dim dip runs through an ign. fed relay , presume you would have to disconect that to stop it .

do they fully come on.
On mine, the side lights are accompanied by a "dim" dipped beam, second click gives you full dipped beam (if that makes sense)
IIRC I read somewhere that this dim dipped beam is controlled by a resistor under the wing somewhere (possible drivers side) if this goes short circuit, it would give you a normal dipped beam with side lights.

I have just done this on my defender.
I used this thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/97-def-90-headlight-ptroblems-95666.html
Dim/dip lights - help please! - Defender Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum
And if you want to buy the proper relay instead of bridging the wires you can from here Britcar (UK) Ltd > YWZ10003L CONTROL UNIT (G)
Hope this helps

Not necessary on defenders when the engine is running then you will get 60% power to the dipped beam (headlights) when you have side lights on know as dim dip.

As of 2015 (cars produced from 2012 on) then yeah daylight running lights will be part of the MOT, these will most likely be the sidelights still as Volvos have always done although more and more are fitting dedicated daylight running lights. You do need to have ign off sidelights as well still I believe.

Well i can only state what my Defender 300TDI does and it don't do what you say.

To add some pointless info. I have a 12 plate transit from work and as soon as the ignitions on/engine running the dip beams come on. Not dim dip or side lights. It winds me up the amount of people that flash at me trying to tell me:frusty:

some do, some dont, not found any rhyme nor reason to which do or dont, mines a 96 300tdi, and it does do this...
And mine is a 96 300 tdi that does not.
