Also, looks to me like in the image you attached they have mislabeled the wires. Looks like the one labeled 'DRL negative' is a white wire in a black sheath, from all the controllers I've seen it's normally a white wire that should be connected to the headlights for the dimming function. And the one marked 'Headlight / dashboard light' looks like the black negative wire that should be going to the DRL. If you've followed the labelling in that image, it's possible you have those 2 swapped around, which would blow the fuse and/or cause them not to light.
Yiu could possibly be right. I thought that wiring diagram was very strange too. Maybe that is the issue. Maybe I've blown the controller now because of that.

Here's the link to the controller I got so u can see for yourself it's wiring.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281928002375
