Brake lights are just on outers I think. Never really taken much notice to be honest  :grin:

True dat.

Full brake lights are much brighter.

Yes standard is just the outer brake light.  5x brake light obdeleven/vcds mod enables the inner leds too. Looks much better and how it should have been from factory imo.

After plucking up some more courage (using the excellent stickies on VWROC forum) have been using the OBD dongle so now have:

Stop/start disabled (yippee!!)
5x brake lights
Headlamp washers off
Fan level display on auto
DRL 75% with headlights

The car hasn't started up and driven off on its own after tinkering so good result!  :laugh:

Welcome to the slippery slope!

Dipping DRL with indicators??

Cheers Nick, I think I like the sound of that one.....heading off to look for long coding now!  :laugh:

Also recommend Scandinavian DRLs on the rear.
