Hi all, has anyone changed the little bulbs in the front that are on all the time? I hate their yellow glow....
If you've done something can you give advice/linky please?
Thanks,
Jim

If you mean the DRLs. Then they can be switched off.
Its in the user manual or do a search, sorry i can't remember off hand how to switch them off but I switched mine off day one.

I was to keep them on but don't want that 1980's headlight look :sad:
Hopefully someone has a few good ideas :nerd:

Likewise, I switched mine off. Can't remember how to do it now but it was very easy and quick. It's in the manual and involves using the indicator stalk I think.
Evil looking things, the yellow DRLs completely ruin the look of the car.
I don't think there is a replacement bulb available yet, still, I mean the mk6 has only been in production for 2 years now; not much to ask is it?
Ahhh, if only I had xenons :cry:

No replacements for H15 halogen bulbs yet mate so it's either turn em off or live with em! :angry:

If you search on the net for H15 upgrade there's loads of "super white" options available.

I turned mine off via the the instructions in the handbook but ended uphaving the DRLs as my sidelights!?

You sure about that Doc - only thing I've seen is a blue filter which fits over the bulb to give a whiter light...

Yeah, maybe post a link cos I can't find any eithers?
Cheers

When I looked again your correct, the links I saw all pointed to the sane sites :sad:
This said upgrade on google but they are standard:

Next are upgrades but looks like they heeds blue filter as mentioned here:

The others I saw were xenon / hid upgrades with halogen drl's which should improve your main beam ( mine are useless ) but your drl will still be useless.

HID Conversions did a complete upgrade for all the lights including fogs and the DRLs. They made specific units for the DRLs. I did not go down this path because my wicked Insurance company would increase my premium by an unreasonable amount. Anyway, it seems the company has now gone out of business.
