20% i think

20% lol wtf...thats a joke. Look awesome at 20% so 100% must look unreal. Audis DRLs always appear to be far brighter that the GTD/GTI and R

Mine was at 26.  This is only what they get dimmed down to when your headlights are on though.  When your headlights are off/during the day they are running at 100 (I think)...


Ahhhh right i get you now! How easy is this to change via VCDS? Looks a bit of a ball ache to set up and get to grips with

It's quite easy and nothing as complicated as what it looks like.  It was my first time using VCDS.  If you want some changes made I could put you in touch with my bro in law.  He stays in Edin.  You can reach a deal between yourselves.

Yeh i was quite keen on the DRLS at 100% and the fog Lights for coming home. I could sort him out with a case of beer or some cash for his time. How long did it take you, like 15 mins?

Took my car to Clean Me Detailing at Bury St Edmunds. Had a new car protection carried out and Mark did a fantastic job. Had G-techniq products used and it looks fantastic. Really pleased with how it turned out but I was a little disappointed with the condition of the car from VW - both B pillars had fine scratches as did the gloss black bits below the rear spoiler. I would imagine it was caused by what is likely to have been a ham-fisted attempt at removing the protection stickers prior to delivery.

Top man! Looking forward to seeing the difference. What % is it set at as standard out of interest?

Keen to get the cable myself, but for 200 odd quid to change 1 thing, not sure if its worth it

Ok so taking photos of your lights with a camera phone is pretty hard. These haven't turned out very well at all - it's not pitch black either as the phone would suggest.

So - normal DRL no lights active



DRL still at 100% with Dipped Beam on



(Admittedly hard to see the dipped beam is on, but trust me it is haha) Activating this fix on VCDS would take about 15 mins including the boot up time/security code time.

After getting slightly vexed with device charging leads cluttering up the car, I ordered a 1.8m USB extension lead and have fed the extension from the drivers side cubby hole to the centre console where i have a double USB plug in charger. Garmin lead now much neater.

Well after two hours cleaning I've noticed a dent about chest high in the drivers side back panel no idea what could cause that one! Anyone got an idea of how much mobile dent repair is these days?

@KyleB - Loving that light mod. I'd like to have that done to mine.

Anybody happen to know who in the North West (Ormskirk/Southport) who might know how to do such a thing for some beer tokens?
