You must be able to get them apart, Jean Pierre has done his in pink!


I think he just stuck a pink stripe on the outside, inline with the red one?   Unless there is a better close up?

From what I can make out a Japanese company Craftsman sell DRL kits to install the outside DRL the same as we get on the GTI/GTD as standard in Europe.  This guy has used one of these kits to also install the inside DRL as well as the outside one.

Here's the link to the Craftsman site in Japanese I'm afraid, http://shop.craftsman-jp.com/shopdetail/026001000008/026/001/X/page1/order/

£73 isn't bad!

It seems to suggest you need to solder something into the fuse box behind the glovebox...  Puts me right off!

You are right... The guy simply stuck a pink strip on the outside of the headlight.

One of his YouTube videos shows a close up of the headlight and you can clearly see the red stripe behind it.

If you pause the video around the 45 secs mark you can see the pink tape overlaid over the red stripe.
