DRLs not working in Auto mode
« on: 17 June 2010, 15:25 »
My DRLs have suddenly stopped working when the lighting selector is in 'Auto' mode. All the bulbs are fine as all the lights work in other modes. All the lights come on automatically in 'Auto' mode in darker lighting conditions, which is fine. What can it be?
Could it be because I have the MFD in 'daylight saving mode'? I have disabled this, but still the DRLs don't come on.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi

I'd be glad if my DRLs stopped working in the daytime, I am sick of peeps flashing at me cos it's bright sunshine and my bloody lights are on. :angry:

It would seem to happen to cars without Xenons with rear LEDs?

AM didn't you get xenons retro fitted, although I don't see it in your signature? Could that be the cause of it?

I did, but had them removed as I was not happy with the results. Try before buy.
Car is 100% standard in the front at least!
Golfgti5 is having the same problem.
