Why not code in the dual L shapes like the R has on the 7?

I don't think that's just a code...

Could be wrong though, anyone know?

Discussed back in 2014 on the forum. Not possible with existing headlamps. If it was, then I dare say there’d be members on this forum and other forums that would have done it.

You’re not wrong, a quick google suggests I’m wrong. I didn’t realise they were different hella units. Makes sense now why VW streamlined costs and gave the 7.5’s the same (bar the red/chrome insert).

Mine have been on for a few years, I like the look of them.

Popped to the shops and saw in a reflection of the car that the dots are already on. Live and learn...!

Having checked, they don’t come on unless the headlamps are illuminated on my Ed40CS.
I must get round to coding them in...

Maybe I coded them in previously?!?  I’ve done the dimming DRL with indicators code but can’t think of anything else I’ve done to the front DRLs (Scandinavian DRLs at the rear). Either that or mine were on from the factory.

If you've enabled Scandinavian DRL's, that activates the dots at the front as well...

after reading this I thought I’d check my car.

Turns out I have these dot’s too - i like it! I’ve got a 2014 GTI, I haven’t coded it in. I presume the previous didn’t either. Must of been factory.

I coded my Scandinavian mod back in 2014 and they have been on ever since. They were not on before that I remember, nice little perk of the mod.
