Anyone with a plan to retrofit the U-LED Bi-Xenon headlights to their Golf?
They are available from Euro Car Upgrades at 20% Promo for Xmas
We can also help to install these for someone and try to do a DIY thread on it.

Howdy,
Well I discovered a new problem last night sitting at some traffic lights with my headlights reflected on the silver bumper of the car in front of me. My lights were on AUTO setting, it was 10pm at night and the DRL's remained lit up along with the main beam - I noticed it as I have previously (year ago) updated my fog light / main beam lights with some philips bulbs so they are 'white' and the DRL's are 'yellow'.
I then tried all combinations of lights on/off but the DRL's remained on (and look bloody terrible in combination with mains).
I've searched and found nothing relating to this problem. Will get it down to the dealer next week.
Any thoughts?

The DRLs dim when the main beam is on.
ok I think I'm going mad. You are right re: dimming, but I swear to God above I've never noticed the DRL's running at night before. I've stood in front of the car checking out my philips globes and the DRLS were definately off (and yes it was night) - I would have shuddered at the presence of their yellow tinge. ArrrrrrrrrghQuote:

There are a couple of ways of turning them off but you need a VCDS cable, or you need to get together with someone who has a cable. One my Golf, I can turn the DRLs off using the Discover media screen, and they turn off automatically whenever I engage the handbrake.
Plus there is the issue of the legality of turning them off (not sure how well policed this would be though). I argue that there is no problem turning them off when the handbrake is engaged, although the way that I read the regs, it doesn't specifically cater for this situation.
On the Mk7 Golfs with halogen headlamps, the DRLs turn OFF when the main beam is selected. I have had a Trendline, Highline and Comfortline and they have all done this.
My GTI has factory xenons, and only then is it when the LED DRLs dim when the main beam is on.
I knew I wasn't going mad....question is why are the DRL's all of a sudden staying on!Quote:
