On the Golf R, both light up, but with the GTI and GTD only the outer ones light up. May be possible to activate, but I don't know.

There isn’t. They are dummy reflectors that aren’t wired up to anything. You’d have to swap out the entire cluster, either for R units or aftermarket.

On the facelift (mk7.5) both drl bars illuminate (led headlamps). On the pre-facelift cars (xenon headlamps), they don't unless you have the 'R' model.

They are not the Double U though they are the same as the TT lights have with ticks.
