Dead easy mate, you'll have no problems. :wink:

Thanks.

I feel that Xenons are now crucial due to the sad state of our potholed roads as they will provide much better lighting for one to see their ever increasing numbers. My next car will def be specced with these from the factory.

For the time being, and urgently, I'll order the Osrams to provide me more light. It really has become quite a problem as the standard Halogens are worse than useless IMO.

Did you buy yours on-line?



Yes mate, got them from powerbulbs and used the forum discount! Only ordered these in particular as they were named the best buy by auto express. :wink:

LED daytime running lights work on the new Golf 6 ab 45 / 2009 or bcm 1K0937087D or higher and a minimum program SW0575

all it takes to run (for those which you have the original xenon lights)

byte 11/bit2 deactivation daytime lights
byte 15/bit3 activation - part of the reduction of intensity at the flashing indicators
byte 15/bit6 activation
byte 15/bit7 activation
18 byte / value 04
byte 24/bit7 activated LED daytime running lights
byte 25 /% intensity daytime running lights
byte 26/bit2 activate
byte 27/bit2 activate

this coding could not do so coding has already been used on a golf 6, for me will come when the new lights to me.

that's it
As soon as someone tests this and confirms it for RHD UK models we will put it in the tech section. :smiley:

^^^ I will confirm tomorrow  :smiley:

I have a slightly different set of coding options but the main bits are the same.

Was just tailed by a new GTi with LEDs I'm assuming factory fitted as it had no plates yet. Was through a tree lined road, and noticed that when in sunlight, only LEDs on, but when in a dark patch, LEDs dimmed to about half brightness, xenon's came on.

All go smoothly, or hit some bumps in the road? Do they work as described above?
