hobbit:
Any one else has this

On my 200, When side lights on, with ignition off only the sidelights them selves on the front are on, but when started engine, my headlights get a low voltage feed as well as the normal sidelights

Seems not on all 200 though, checked Ed's and it didn't do it

Annoying as I was trying to take that feed out, but no go up to now

Sounds like the 'Dim Dip' feature..  the Series 2's had it as standard AFAIK... I assume it was an optional extra on the 200s  or maybe an aftermarket kit

scorpio:
yep it is dim dip under the passenger side kick panle there is a realy you can take it out and disable the system. or just remove the dimdip fuse

pritch:
I've just checked in the manual, and Dim-Dip is listed in there (for UK models only).

My understanding is that its there because it is illegal to drive on sidelights in the UK.  By applying a low voltage to the main bulb, it gets around that issue.
