DRL configurations

[DRC]

I though the match model upwards has auto lights/wipers?

On the R, if you just have DRL's on, i believe the tail lights remain OFF. If you put on side lights, the DRLs go dimmer and the rear tail lights come on.

Same as the Rocco then snoopy?

Its how the xenon equipped cars are setup. Mine was setup like that so it had front and rear lights on all the time as DRL. I had to untick that box to turn off my DRL.

Cheers Snoopy.

The only issue I can see with that having hallogen headlights is shortened bulb life.

I need to get myself an up to date VCDS cable so that I can do this myself. I reckon we'll run normal DRLs through the summer, then low beam headlights when the clocks go back. Now if only the car could do that itself. It can't be beyond the realms of possibility.
