I recently did this on my 2001 D2.
You will also need the XBL100200 DRL resistor that fits behind the LH headlight. You might have to turn on the DRL option with a Nanocom.

Np.... glad to help.
I should have mentioned... make sure you have the wire connector with the jumper inside the area of the LH headlight. Mine was hidden under the wire bundles. This connector is where you will remove the jumper wire (mine was blue) and connect the DRL resistor.

I'm interested! Is it a low powered dip beam?

Would have been but my son has given me some high power LED side light bulbs which give out a bright light and are legal easier and cheaper solution to DRL

Yes. The DRL works at, I’m guessing, half the voltage than dip beams. So half the illumination “and” the rear illumination lights aren’t on for a proper DRL system.

I’ve got LED bulbs and they still work well as DRLs.
