Title: A3/A6 DRL Style Sidelight
Post by: rdfcpete on 02 June 2009, 16:33

Guys,

Looking for a set of the very bright Halogen looking sidelights for my 2006 Golf Gti.
Most noticeably used on the Audi A6 and sportback Audi A3's.

Ebay only seem to do the Xenon style ones; I don't mind them having a hint of white glow, but rather they were very similar to the Audi style. I also understand many Xenon LED sidelights last about an hour too, this is what I found on my RS Clio's LED sidelights anyway? A few days usage would be nice ;)

Thanks,
Pete.

American spec Golfs have city lights in the space near the indicators. They would be similar, but I don't know how you would set it up   :undecided:

Is this not just a setting in Vagcom that can be activated, sure it's just the indicators permenantly illuminated and then obviously they flash when you are indicating?

Yeah I've seen the US DRL's, quite cool.

Just some bright halogen sidelights would be perfect. Any pointers on a source?

Ta,
Pete.

Phillips Bluevision Sidelights are good!

Not blue fella, look revolting. Leave them to the Corsas lol

Thanks anyway, butttt definitely want just a bright yellow or a whitey yellow, just like the Audi's?
