Trail package Aux lights

Why it doesn't work...no telling, but as long as the switch is functional you should be able to wire them up.
If you want to bypass the Rover wiring (other than a relay controlled by the high beam circuit) it should be easy using a latching relay. I think the switch isn't a latching switch so that's why you'll need a latching relay.

That is, in fact, the drving light switch (PN VVN500070). The ones on the other side are the front and rear fog light switches.

Well, I fixed it! I just wish I knew what I did lol. Fiddled around with some of the wires, took the switch out to look around, etc. Before I dissected it all, i turned the high beams back in, and pressed the button, and bam...we have light. First just one came on, then I turned them in and off a few times, and the other came on. Once pushed, they go on with highs and off with lows. All good!
I will leave them on for a bit later to see if they stay on when driving. I've heard many that go out after a few minutes. On my 00, I would get them to work but just briefly. So, for now I guess problem solved! If they do spaz out though, my money is on that odd black box full of an epoxy type sand.

SNAFU,
I wired the Official LR driving lights to that switch in my 2003. I got a genuine kit on eBay for a Range Rover and then took my time. All works well. But i do have to manually turn the lights off when I stop the car. I've never thought the flood light pattern t help out that much at night. I added HID bulbs to mine, so they are a little better. Still a scattered beam or no "beam" at all.

OK, so they have been hit and miss all week, but noticed a few things:
They only turn on initially when the vehicle is in park. I tried turning them on while driving last night and they didn't go on. Got home a minute later, and hit the button again for the heck of it, and went on. Shut off truck, did the same again with same result. Also, the other night they turned off after a couple minutes (when I came to a stop, not sure if that mattered). They didn't go back on. When I got where I was going and got back in, they went back on and stayed on (while high beams were on) for the rest of the 30 minute drive.
I'm thinking that little black relay box (and or the computer) does in fact control these with odd rules.
