Hmmm . . . that is interesting . . . I have the EU spec Xenon's with the DRL's and per my pics, mine are [to my way of thinking] NOT that bright [in day time daylight]. In evening [twilight] they do show up better, but much weaker than late Porsches, Audis, C, E, S Class Mercedes' here in California. The DRL's of these cars are almost as bright as Evoque's fog lights. No dimming upon signaling appears to occur of the DRL's. In fact NO USA vehicles[to the best of my knowledge] with DRL's dim as you describe, unless it is so subtle that is NOT noticed. This feature is apparently a requirement in your region. I will research if this is the case and in what region is law. I also need to check DRL output Lumen rating [if there are any differences worldwide] and if there is, I will retrofit the brightest ones I can get a hold of. I'll also have to compare, my EU DRL"s, side by side, with the USA Xenon/DRL's I have for any differences. I also do notice on R.R.Evoque USA sales brochures that the signature LED's emitting are photographed in "low" ambient light NOT full day light.

Thanks for your input and what city/country are you from, please?
Thanks,

It seems that [as I gathered from researching] that there are 2 types of types of wiring harness' that are used on these trucks. 1 for the halogens and 1 for the Xenon and a variation for the adaptive Xenons. Adding OEM Xenons to the Halogen fitted trucks will work with either adding the level sensor system circuit that is on the OEM Xenon harness or rewiring directly the Xenon circuit [which I have chosen] and this would bypass the sensor issue. I have yet to 'bench-test' my add-on circuit as I have ordered water proof plugs to splice internal lines on the new headlight wiring. I have energized the correct pins on the 16 pin plug to test the DRL's and the OEM Xenon ballast circuitry themselves to get it working. Once bench tested with my completed wiring add-on, my next step is to install the headlights and check operation of the DRL's to see how they work with: a] being "ON" w/ignition and headlights off, b] parking light switch on, c] headlights on.
And, by the way, this Dealer will NOT install these, due to the non-existing wiring circuit and components necessary to get the Xenons working, on my own truck. Unable to estimate hours labor and/or Liability issue, I believe. The Tech wanted me to return and would like to see once I completed this job.
That's it for now!

I had done a lot of research/pre-testing before I installed and final wiring of these lights. In fact I had purchase a used pair of adaptive HID light assemblies to test on rather than possibly ruining my new pair. The testing was proven passed without harm to these "TEST" units. I am selling this used pair at a good price on this forum before I offer it on Ebay. The lights do NOT include ballasts and with no HID bulbs. The units are being sold "AS-IS" for parts ONLY as the housing on right side is cracked. These are adaptive HID pair with positioning motors in place [untested]. The DRL's are operational and the pics below are as illuminated. The projector lens on both look good. The Left housing is not damaged and appear good. I want to get $595.00usd + shipping for the PAIR. If not sold I will offer on auction at a higher price. The DRL's can be removed and installed in your Halogen Lights for that Original Equipment "SIGNATURE DRL LOOK". These are USA Spec Evoque OEM Adaptive Xenon Headlight Pair from a 2012 Prestige Model.

PM me for any questions you may have or a quote on shipping. I accept Paypal and can ship worldwide. These are FOB USA [California].

These are a good deal and if anyone has checked . . . hard to beat.

Please keep me posted if you can and the information was really helpful. Hopefully I could find someone who understands how to do something like that because you really need a variety of skills to complete this mod.

The "dip" or further dimming upon signaling does NOT happen on my mod. as I prefer. USA law does not have this requirement for me to be concerned of. The signal bulb is amber colored and upon illumination is much brighter than the DRL's more faint glow. In fact I was thinking of a way I could amplfy the voltage to the DRL's as they are hardly visible in the day light compared to the Mercedes here in the USA.
