I'll get it checked on Saturday afternoon 26th June by Darren when he fits my RNS510 or by VW on the same day in the morning when they fit my Ed30 knob and sort the centre armrest clonk!
Everyone wants their DRLs off. We've got this without asking!

have a look at if the Factory Halogen DRL's in Byte 15 are turned on under -  "Daytime Running Lights (via separate lights) active" is checked

Do you have the led rears retrofitted too?
If so try changing the byte back that was changed to stop the bulb out errors and see if the DRLs come back on.   :undecided:

Hope he's gone to check and it works.

Froggy has retrofitted rear LEDs with Halogen fronts.
Erik, I think, has Halogen fronts and factory LEDs.
I wonder how their DRLs are performing.
Erik's might be fine as his rear LEDs are a factory fit.
Froggy has not mentioned a thing.
Be interesting to find out.

Erik/Froggy, with lights in Automode, do your Halogen DRLs work as normal as you both have rear LEDs?
