I just noticed that Clive has solved that too

(Apologies if this is old news)

He does do some great stuff for Aston's. Thanks for posting

The first two things I purchased for my V8V were Clive's battery charger and DRL pack. The guy is very knowledgeable and gives great customer service too.

Does this effectively turn on the side lights automatically?

Up to 2012MY? What about more recent models? RHD only?

DOH!! I missed that 2012 cut off

this sounds like a good idea, might purchase

Would be nice to have, but wire stripping and cutting on my car sounds a bit scary

[rovcallum]

Sounds good. I hope it doesn't clash with the remote for Fuse 22. That might get interesting!

Remember the Stephen King film Christine....the car with a mind of it's own....that's what you'll end up with

Just got email back from Clive saying there is no chance of conflict.

Why not just leave your lights on all the time?

That would seem the obvious solution

Why does this kit work on RHD only?

[GlynV8]

I've got this kit and it works perfectly as expected.
A very nice upgrade.

How was it to fit?

Because thats called "Having your side lights on" . and the red rears are lit.

This is for "Daytime running lights" that are now standard on every car in the world except the Vantage.

It was actually ok. Took about 30 mins or so to do.
When I first read the instructions did seem a little scary. But then re-read them so that I was certain that I was clear on what was need to be done and familairised my self with the contents and connectors in the kit.. Then just work methodically.
When doing it make sure that you have good light and make absolutely 100% sure that you have identified the correct wires before you cut anything. Be aware that you are looking for orange wires with either a blue tracer (on the big connector on the left) and a green tracer (on the one that goes to the back of the fuse panel on the right). Take note that there is a blue wire with and orange tracer going to connector on left so don't get confused, you are looking for a wire than is definitely mainly orange with a thin blue line. When you cut wires make sure you do so that gives you a long enough slack end that will be easy to strip and connect to.
