DSC/ETC, EBA and HDC warning lights with headlights on
Brief apologies as I understand that this topic has been discussed before, but I simply cannot find the thread.
The vehicle:
Diesel D3, manual, coil-suspension all round.
The symptoms:
When the (halogen) headlights are switched on whilst on the move, the three orange warning lights shown below simultaneously appear.

They are "Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Electronic Traction Control (ETC)", "Brake systems (Emergency brake assist)", and "Hill Descent Control (HDC)".
ETC and HDC, at least, are then inoperative.
These lights do not illuminate when the headlights are off, and the functions operate properly.
Then when the ignition key is removed the hazard lights flash a few times.
The vehicle is out of warranty and I would appreciate the Power of the Forum before going to the garage.Discovery 3 TDV6 5-Seat

Change your brake light bulbs recently? Or could one of them have partially blown and the filament rewelded across from the tail light filament to the brake light filament?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
