Front light differences
« on: 01 September 2010, 14:20 »
Folks,

What's what with the front lights on a Mk6?
With factory Xenons, DRLs are Xenons and are positioned in the outer lamp units, sidelights are the little shaped things below, the inner lamp units being indicators only.

I notice non-Xenon cars have the DRLs as half power/low wattage lights in the inner lamp units.
So where is the indicator on a non-Xenon car?
Where is dip beam?
Where is main beam?

Are all headlight units the same design on GTIs - projector lenses, dark grey surrounds, silver infills?

I didn't realise they were quite so different.


Not the best pic, I know...

It's in French, but there are plenty of pictures.

It's full dipped Xenons, in the outer lights.
