Driving light switch location

Even though we will have adaptive lighting we ordered driving lights on our ALL4. The driving lights are activated in conjunction with high/low beams but does anyone know the on/off dash switch location?

I have Connected and mine isn't a switch it's a setting in the computer. If you don't have connected, I would guess it's on the computer controlled with the light stick on the left of the steering wheel.

The fog lights that are mounted on the bumper? The switch is typically installed to the left of the steering wheel on the dash, or at least that is where I have seen them. Here is a link to a Pure Orange one that is for sale near us. The switch is under the vent on the drivers side. If you enlarge the middle picture, it is visible.

I didn't order Connected so this is exactly the information I was looking for and even pictures!

Thanks Brad

Sorry. I have a switch too, in the same place. I got my terminology wrong. I thought you meant the light just above the driving/ fog lights. Oops.

On the dash left of the steering wheel.

Here it is on my 2009 JCW.

The picture of the light lights up when you turn the headlights on

The LED on right side of the switch will light when the driving light switch is turned on

The driving lights will turn on when you use high beams. Only if this switch in turned on.

That's where mine is too.

Perhaps the R56 and R60 have different switch locations.

conceivably

Maybe , But I really would not think so. Why would they want to move it when it works so well at the R56 location?

I guess we will find out when the driving lights are installed on Grayducts Countryman AWD.

Because it's a R60?
