Fitted My Golf R Lights (Thanks Steve)  and they are working great!  :cool: Done the VAGCOM thingy and set code to 100 to remove the warning light I had which was fine but now my sidelights dont work  :sad: my drls are now my sidelights  :sad: anyone else had this problem? Not sure if I changed something on the drop dowm menu when changing byte 18 to "100" to "Rest Of The World" so maybe thats it?

That's right. Same as mine. This is the case with Golfs delivered 2010. Steve is working on a solution.

Kenny: In auto DRLs off. The rest is fine. All other functions as before. I feel it is a minor issue. There will be a solution. Trust Steve.

I set my code as 0x15 or 00010101 which has everything working correctly.

I think Steve already tried that on am1w's car without success, mine is 2010 car.

I don't think I have this problem. Is it an issue with xenons only (or maybe RHD cars only..?)

No my car has xenons and my lights have been fine after adding the rear LEDs.

The problem is for cars with front Halogens and build dates in 2010. Not a problem with Xenons.

It's amazing really how VW have built in such different electrical tolerances towards the rear lights over the space of just over 12 months or so.
You've got earlier 2009 cars like mine which have the permanent fog light bulb out warning light (easily overcome I guess by wiring in a filament bulb to the connecting harness loom thingy?) morphing into some 2010 cars losing the side lights (despite the LEDs being an option in some markets) and yet 2011 models have the LEDs as standard, thus there are at least 3 different control modules within 18 months.

Talk about continuous development......the VW techies must be on speed.

Kenny, just wondering if you got this sorted.

My car is the same as yours, Halogen lights. delivered 2010.

I was changing some other things today so thought I would try the 04 setting.
Did the same as yours, DRL's seem to be used as side lights and the side lights were on but extremely dim.

Set the code back to 0x15 and everything is working again as normal.
