I have seen S40's and v40's with no lights on at all how's that??? My lights are allways on i acn put them down to side lights but they stay on when you turn the ignition off. Is there a way of turning them all off ??

What year u got?
On the 2000 and later models the DRL's can be turned off with a 'trick'

Before that it jsut doesn't work

As if by magic.....

on a 2000 s40 to shut off your daylight headlights.....
1st turn key in the middle position
2nd turn the light swith to the middle position
3rd turn key to regualr position
4th turn lights all the way to the off poss

walah, your running daylights should be o

Ok yes my central locking does work I think the only problem I have now is that my sidelights do not work at all. I have checked fuses and swapped out the actual light switch so far too no avail.

Any ideas anyone.......

The only way pre MY2000 cars can turn the lights of is to cut some wires behind the switch(im not sure on which ones). Why do you want them off anyway? I have the DRLs turned on on my Audi and will on the BMW when it turns up. Its a great feature for people to notice you coming.

To disable them on pre 2000 cars you have to dismantle the switch and remove the piece of 'tin' which joins the 2 sides together or just cut it....really not worth doing mate.
they add something to the car and people always tell you your lights are on....muppets lol
