For LED DRLs you need to change a few things.... by default in daytime running mode they are on 100% and will dim no problem.
As sidelights they are at minimum dim level of 26% and cannot be dimmed further (otherwise you get error on dash).
Hence I changed the dim value for sidelights up a little (to 75% as 100% is too bright at night and you will dazzle others).
I also made a change so that it goes up to 100% when I flash full beam.
You don't need to but then it will only dim if you indicate when they are in DRL mode (i.e. won't if you're on parking lights, dipped or full beam).

Bold text is for dimming when indicating, underlined is 100% of flash and 75% for sidelights but think parking light is originally on function D, not E but I moved it to be able to have 75% for sidelights and retain 26% for parking light.
I thought finally the answer to something thats been bugging me for ages but alas despite amending to what you have suggested its not made any difference. All settings have been stored however DRLs still dim upon signalling when sidelights/headlights are on and no visible increase when on high beam.
hmm........... not sure if I understand why the settings in the table above would remove the DRL dimming function upon signalling, but you might want to consider the following:
First: What type of headlights do you have installed in your car? This question is important because the "Leuchte-set" (being the 19 x adaptation channels that control each of the lights on a mk7) for the DRLs is different depending on the fitting types. For example, the Leuchte-sets in the table above are for LED/HID OEM fittings. If you have incandescent lamps, then the Leuchte sets will be
- Leuchte5 TFL RB32 (right-side DRL)
- Leuchte4TFL LB4 (left-side DRL)
Second: The facility that dims the DRLs on signalling is called
DRL Wink and it is enabled by the following Leuchte-commands
- Blinken links aktiv (beide Phasen) - for the left-side DRL
- Blinken rechts aktiv (beide Phasen) - for the right-side DRL
The author of the table has highlighted the "Leuchte -subset" that contains these two commands, but as I said, the position of these two commands on your car depends on the type of equipment that is installed. The factory-set dimming values for DRL wink is 0, but the table author has increased this setting to 26 ( see the setting for the adaptation channels (18)). Anyway, if you want to remove DRL Wink entirely, all you have to do is remove these two Leuchte commands from the original adaptation channels on your car. If you have incandescent fittings, the relevant channels are:
- (8 )-Leuchte5 TFL RB32-Lichtfunktion C 5
- (8 )-Leuchte4TFL LB4-Lichtfunktion C 4
However, if you want to retain DRL wink but have the lamps dim less - then just increase the value in the
"(18)" adaptation channels. The appropriate channels for incandescent fittings for this modification are;
- (10)-Leuchte5 TFL RB32-Dimmwert CD 5
- [(10)-Leuchte4TFL LB4-Dimmwert CD 4/li]

PS: If you do have incandescent fittings and you have added the settings in the table to the BCM in your car, then you might want to consider reverting the settings back to their original values
