nice  :wink:

May I ask which bulb type is in the main xenon unit please (D1S I think but not 100%) Steve and do you twist them into place or do I require a mounting bezel to hold them in.

Cheers Doc

Request  :evil:
for some photos tomorrow of DRL lights in daylight mode in daylight to see how bright they are to oncoming traffic. Are they Audi eye killers or Merc im here looking or dullish.

Have you got the coding workout too, or still experimenting?

Thanks Steve.



Hum im not sure of them  :undecided:, I guess i will have to go have a look at some at the dealers in real life as im guessing like the rear ones they prob look far better in real life.

Looking good Steve, youv'e got me thinking about the upgrade again  :evil:

My Module is

Address 09: Cent. Elect. (J519)       Labels: 1K0-937-08x-09.clb
   Part No SW: 1K0 937 086 C    HW: 1K0 937 086 C
   Component: BCM PQ35  M   103 0575 

So looks like I need a new one of those as well..

It's got the right software but for what ever reason VW make the xenon and non-xenon versions of the BCM  :undecided:
