Daytime driving lights.

[Hail22]

Think I may do a full Nightbreaker plus upgrade with the ebay link led side light i linked earlier.

Diamond vision are good, however first are illegal. Second heard a lot of mixed thoughts of performance/brightness of the product.

plus vs price the Osram full set is cheaper than buying only two sets of DV lights (fogs, side, low beam, high beam.)

The Phillips H7 also come with a pair of the W5W mini globes to, that is why I'm going Phillips plus they are cheaper.

Ah yes, forgot about that.
Polos with a single headlight use a twin filament H4 60/55W bulb, those with dual headlights use a pair of H7 55W bulbs.

How do I know what globes I need? From memory I have a total of 10 globe's including indicator lights just at the front alone.

Indicator lights
Fog lights
Daylight lights (W5W)
Low beam lights ????
High beam lights ????

The daylights also seem to be the low beam lights. I am very confused when it comes to lights on the car. You can't imagine how difficult it's been knowing what lights are on and off at all times of the day...???

One question, there is no auto setting on these Polo's is that correct? I was told from a friend (Golf owner) there is an auto setting and he just leaves it on that all the time. This isn't the case with us Polo owners???

Depending on the model, it's either one H4 bulb (low + high beam) or two H7 bulbs (one for low beam, one for high beam) per side.

The W5W bulb is for the side/park lights. If they come on together with the low beam, then they are used as DRL as well.

The auto function is present only if your car is fitted with a light sensor.

Side light illuminates with low beam, there is a VCDs code in order to have it auto as soon as the car is on. However I cannot find the code as of yet.

So really...i'm getting confused.

One Dealer says get philips Diamond Vision x 4 (two for low beam, two for high beam) with the LED parker I have found.

Then another says with the LEDs I want to buy to go for this eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

So confusing...

That reminds me I wanted to add a signature to my posts. I have the GTi so what lights do I have. The 2 low and high beam of each?

So that means I need 2 x H7 then correct?

You would need two packs of H7 = 4 globes.

2 - low beam
2 - high beam

So does that mean that one light will admit a lower light and the other will admit higher? Can this be done... on the same globes?

Low beam is the standard beam you run while driving at night.

High Beam is the beam used for extra illumination, warning drivers, or letting lane hogs/incompetent 4x4 drivers to move out of the overtaking lane.

I believe they're the same, I may be wrong!

Yeah I get that but how can the same H7 globe admit different levels of output?

I was reading this and it seems the difference the connectors and the fact the H4 has two filaments.
