Well that’s cleared that one up then. DRL’s dip from 21w to 5w with headlamps on from factory.

Well mine go off of course but I don't remember what it was like before the cluster coding change, I'm guessing that's what it is.

A quick update, have now fitted led H4 headlight bulbs from Spoli on Amazon (£29), really good and the beam cutoff is exactly the same as the original halogens but waaaaaay brighter. Very chuffed. Still have the bulb warning but intend to try and code that out. Was already on with the led sidelights anyway so no difference there.

I then remembered I had enabled "leaving home lights" with Obdeleven a long time ago, which don't work as I don't have a light sensor after all. But ..when I turned off the leaving home function in the MFD, the sidelights now stay on with the headlights!

Might help others who have the same issue as the OP and myself.

I am now thinking that was the culprit and not the ROW setting in the MFD.
