Who's got their DRL's on?

[Snoopy]

Am1W has the issue that SteveP had to fiddled with byte18 data and use a different value to others to get his rear LEDs working without errors.

[R32UK]

Yes, they'll be on even when switched off.

You need to disable them to avoid further embarrassment.

Left hand indicator and headlight flash and hold. Turn ignition on - it will beep after 3 seconds.
Page 64 of the manual. Make sure switch is set to off and not Auto when you do this.

Leave the DRLs to the Volvos, Saabs and now Audis. Most of the Golfs I see with them on are probably company cars and the drivers don't even know or care they're on, certainly can't be bothered to switch their light pollution off.

top tip for the day

thanks golfti

I feel for the person above... as said the do look like a flash as people go over bumps, I have been mistaken previously but always proceed with caution. Get these darn things banned and cut the number of to$$ers on the road showing off

or get vw to do a recall and get me some led running lights 

[dubber36]

Well I quite like mine even if they are pi55 yellow.

They match my dim-dips on my Mk2.

I did turn them off,  but turned them back on again.
Don't know why, but you always know you're meeting a Mark 6 by the DRLs, even from quite a way down the road.

Yeah, but most of them are hire cars.

I've been living with the yellow lights for too long, I've just turned them off until someone invents some DRL's that aren't p1ss yellow

Mine were off when I had halogens and I never bothered to set them after I installed the Xenons.

People think that you've just left your lights on as they're not distinctively different. People get it on Audis with their fairy light decorations because none of what appear to be the main lights are on.

Regarding DRLs being mistaken for someone flashing, anyone who thinks that is clearly thick. I'd buy it if we're having a conversation about automatic lights, there are a couple of junctions near me where my lights come on as I come under a bridge to the junction and every time, I get 1 or 2 people thinking I'm letting them through. If I wasn't aware of the issue, I probably would have driven into someone by now.

I have been told by a number of people "I though you flashed me to come out"... does that mean that I am thick? or would that be the person that pulled out making the assumption.

this has happened a number of times.. i dont see how I am to blame

So which do you all prefer

The Audi type ones ?



or the R type ones ?



BTW I have mine turned on permanantly to answer the OP's question
