MK 7.5 Golf GTI LED Headlights
« on: 30 September 2018, 14:57 »
I have a MK 7.5 Golf GTI with Led Headlights and  Why only two of the Daytime Running Lights are running? Only one per side.

We have a 7.5 GTD with adaptive headlights and a 7.5 GTE without.  The GTE does not have the inner LEDs in the headlight cluster.  The DRLs on the GTE are in the bumper though - the LEDs in the main headlight cluster are sidelights.

My conclusion was that adaptive has the inner LEDs lit.  The main beam seems better on the GTD too.

Please tell me that all UK Spec Mk 7.5 GTI PPs have both inner and outer DRLs lit whether Dynamic light assist is fitted or not?

Think it might well be country related. Both my 7.5 GTIs have had the standard LED lights and have the 4 sets of drls.

That said, a quick look on Autotrader the other day at 7.5 GT/R-Line and Alltrack models with LEDs showed some have only outer drls not all 4.

Confusing....

Thanks. I really like the look of the 4 DRLs, so really hope my new 7.5 has them.
