No experience with the 3008 but on my 308 it has to be enabled / disabled using diagbox

 

How?? I want to turn them off. I have a peugeot 308 2017 allure and there is not option in the menu.

 

dlr is an mot failure as after a certain year they are compulsory

 

From what I've read, it's compulsory to be fitted BUT not compulsory to have them working. The DRLs on my car were disabled when I purchased it in May 2015. Car is on a 61 plate.

 

Hi. I turned mine off in the menu options on the centre consul, if I remember rightly you have to have the ignition on but the engine not running to access it.

There are lots of options in there can’t remember exactly what heading it’s under so have a hunt around.

My car has been through a couple of MOT’s with them turned off so no problem.

 

Thanks for the advice. I have managed to turn them off using the menu on the radio.

 

turned ours off today as o/s had gone and n/s lamp is looking black so im guessing it will fail shortly. our 3008 is our 1st 'modern' car and i was shocked at the cost of a drl. it only took a minute and went something like ignition on-menu-parameters-lighting-untick drl-ok and bingo drl were off!

 

I see you've figured it out, my passenger side bulb blew so I did the same as I refuse to pay over £30 to replace it. There's also no legal requirement whatsoever to have them on, only a Eu directive for manufactures to fit them. IMO they're useless anyway.

 

DRL's can make certain cars more visible to oncomming traffic in specific lighting conditions. The trouble is they are only front lights and I've lost count of the number of people I've seen on motorways apparently driving without lights only to pass them and find they have DRL's on. They start the car in the dark, see the light from the DRL's come on and think they have their lights on.

 

You will always have numpties who cannot find the AUTO setting on the light stalk that most cars seem to be equipped with these days….

DRLs DO help improve the safety on our roads, so if you have it, best to run it.
I honestly don't understand the logic that for the sake of a few quid every 4-5 years that these bulbs tend to last that people choose to turn them off or don't bother replacing them when they fail.
From 2011 all cars must have them in the EU, and that includes the UK. If your car is 2011 or later and they are turned off and the MOT technician does not fail your car, then he has made an error.

And if you ever drive on the continent, in most EU countries you have to have either dipped beam (higher power consumption hence fuel usage) or DRL active in daylight hours. In the UK that does not seem to apply. Instead we get numpties with their sidelights on and fogs as a dipped beam replacement in pitch black dark.

We need some more driver education, and coppers willing to stop offending drivers.

 

I never use them on my 1.6HDI auto .......

at the time of looking at them I had read several posts on here that claimed that they over powered the indicators .....

when we bought it we tried a few tests and decided the loss of DRL v indicators

came down on the side of the indicators ....

I am not for one min being scientific .... just my opinion

on my 5008 (with bixenon) DRL uses a standard BAY15d bulb, same as rake bulb / side light on the rear of most cars. These bulbs can be had for under a quid each so wear and tear / cost of replacement is negligible and replacement is quite easy too. And also they do not seem that bright to overpower the indicators plus they are quite far apart from the indicators not he xenon units. I understand it may be a slightly different situation on the halogen headlights.
