Anyone know if the inner Golf 7R drl can be made brighter to match the outer?  Thanks.
Anyone cracked this yet?  Thanks.

I think you'll need a new light unit as I think it was confirmed the headlights are actually different.

I've got an "R" mate so it has the inner DRL, but when you look at them straight on, the inner is slightly dimmer and I would like it as bright as the outer. :evil:

Ah yeah, reading the posts back that is apparent. Silly me. Have you tried doing the 100% DRL brightness code on your R and seeing the results?

No, need to find someone with a VCDS (in Darlington) as I've got a couple of things I would like doing.

Armoir: Thanks for answering on my behalf - but I suspect that the question was rhetoric and that it was Fred and Graham's thinly veiled attempt at humour in pointing out the error in my typing. Found that when you post on these forums, it pays to let such comments slide!

Anyway, hope that the tweak works on your car
