Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Running Lights

I accept it's a teeny, minor, insignificant point - but I have only just noticed the Roadster has running lights - that is, the sidelights are on whenever the ignition is on.
Anybody any experience?
I'd like to deactivate this 'Volvo' feature, according to the dealer, it was only post 2013 Roadsters that had this, and he reckons he can try to deactivate it.
However, having owned Moto Guzzis in the past, I am aware how complex electrics can be and I don't want to cause any 'downstream' issues.

Otherwise, the car continues to make me smile out loud.
I went 30 miles for petrol yesterday, but couldn't be bothered to wait in the queue - which meant that today I had another 30 miles of sunny Bedfordshire country lanes to go and find the same garage again.

I have fitted UK legal LED headlights that contain LED sidelights. I turn on the sidelights as it makes me more visible, safety first.

Hi Ben

I am probably talking complete nonsense, I certainly have no first hand experience with this sort of thing, but I would imagine that changing the wiring, such that the sidelights are not permanently on with ignition, constitutes a modification from the manufacturers standard. If that is the case then, as I understand it, it must be declared to your Motorcar Insurers. The question is whether this mod would be deemed to make the car less visible to other road users and therefore slightly less safe. If so would that result in an increase in your insurance premium or worst still nullify your cover. I think, if it was me, I would contact the Insurers and ask before I carried out the mod.
