My dealer offered to switch it off for me when I picked it up even altho I hadn't mentioned it.

The manual works for turning it off.

When I finally get my Gti, I'm gonna leave my DRLs on. I want people to see me coming and move out of my way  :grin:

The DRLs really does not look that bright when you are standing and looking at them but when driving around and saw another GTI, it is really bright, almost like the main headlights... so I can relate to why people think you are flashing them. But as DRLs become more common, this misperception will also lessen. So I will just have it on. It looks nice too...

No not that, I switched mine off day 1, tired of being flashed (after 1 day) and couldn't get the old Volvo/Saab jokes out of my head.

Out of curiosity - how?
I've tried what it says it the manual but no luck...

i think it depends on whether you have xenons or normal bulbs

you get loads of stares from lads.  its a gti and the monza shadows are bling.  not many alloys look this good on the road aswell.  mines in jet black and looks wicked.

I tried on a car with xenons and it didn't work. Is it suppose to work for halogen only?
