Daytime driving lights.

[Lock & Load]

Having the lights on all the time may be a safety feature but driving around with them on all the time in Sunny Goldcoast you feel like a tool , surely we should have the option left at our discretion

I too just bought a Polo GTi and noticed that the lights are on full time. I think it's a great idea it's also a great incentive to replace the globes with LED's. I should be able to do this easily right?

Edit

I've made the changes and looks great. A lot better then the horrible yellowish Parker's but now I have an amber light coming up in my speedo reading.

any pics?
Dash light comes on because of the lesser resistance of the LED's. Can be turned off with vag-com in 2 minutes

I'm new to VW so what's this Vag-com thing I keep hearing? Is this some sort of computer configuration system, i.e. BIOS ?

I'll post some pics up today!

nice

Vag-com (or vcds) is basically a computer program to allow somone to make changes in the Polo's computer (like enabling/disabling lightbulb check, and many more things)

Ohh... Is it easy to do or should I just head into a dealership and get them to do it?

buy the cable or visit the dealer...

lights look good, which bulbs did you need from that site?

Nice however doesn't it look awkward when you turn on your lights for night driving? (main headlight would be a different colour to the low beam light).

If you can take another photo with your full lights on that would be appreciated as i'm looking for low beam globes

Yeah I need to order them and install them still this was just a test to see if they work. I think the daytime lights aren't these. These LED's are on permanently and can't be turned off the low bean lights however can.

When you order the headlight globes can you place a link on here, as I have found this for the low beam function:
