Please help to retrofit my auto lamp option Disco 4

Hi I have a Disco 4 2016 S grade. mine came without Fogs. then i added Fogs. now the new switch for the fogs comes with Auto lamp on option. Does anyone know if added only the rain sensor with activation without replacing the windscreen to electrochromic windscreen my auto lamp option still work? maybe my disco 4 comes with electrochromic windscreen. how do i identify this? i am not concern on rain sensors to work my wipers. I only need auto lamp to work. Please help... thanks in advance Bow down

Without the sensor being in the windscreen to see daylight you will not get correct light activity .

im putting a new screen in mine to fit the sensor and auto dipping rear mirror Thumbs Up

on my list too with the auto light option on the new switch i'll get as part of my upgrades.

Beanie will your new screen be a outright purchase or an upgrade via windscreen repair route ?

Weighing that up, I was going to talk to local firm to sort one, then on a trip to Salisbury on Saturday I picked up a bulls eye in my current screen , its on passenger side and seems contained Confused

Already trial fitted photochromic mirror and sensor, all works as expected Thumbs Up

sounds like a plan Thumbs Up

Where did you source the photochromic mirror and sensor and do you have any part numbers?

I have all the plugs in the headlining Russell yes, I added the master switch a while ago to get front fog switch, so plug in and then a simple ccf edit for the auto lights

Benie, So, without replacing the windscreen only the sensor and activation do the job to work the auto lamp option on? Very Happy

In principle yes, but you will need to mount the sensor on a clear bit of windscreen to get it to work correctly, otherwise if the sensor thinks it's dark, the lights will be on Thumbs Up

Again in theory yes, but without clear glass on the screen area you attach it to, they'll be a pain and wipe when not needed

Yes, I confirm that it can be because I have done it, and that the cables are there and that it will work if you activate it, in my place it was Geoff. Bow down 2 or 3 years ago....

But to all this, in addition to the sensor mentioned, you lack 2 details, you will have to change the front screen for the variant for sensor and this forces you to put the photosensitive interior mirror, cheap purchase in flebay ....and then .....you have to activate it and I assure you YES it will work Thumbs Up
