DRL's
« on: 30 June 2011, 16:24 »
Hey all,

Ok just got my Golf GTD built end of May, now I thought it is now law to have DRL but within the convenience menu I can turn them off (it definitely works!)

Is this ok? will I get a ticket? I would like to keep them off as it looks better imho!

Cheers

Colin

Yeah, switch 'em off or everyone will think you're in a hire car.

I've just turned mine back on, the auto lights aren't sensitive enough IMO.

Because in manual mode they wont come to advertise the fact that you have been exceeding 87mph.  :laugh:

Do they then stay on?
I've found my lights come on like above even in bright light but no amount of switching from auto mode to manual switches them off.
