VW Golf Highline Mk7.5 - DUAL LED Daytime Driving Lights???

[mickofoz]

Hi to All,
Rufus1000, I have purchased the 2019 golf gti, again inner drl not working. Dealership is near unresponsive. I can understand the high line not having the drl, but the gti is a concern.
Any thoughts if the centre drl was disabled on the 2019 gig.
Regards
John

Well, looks like VW Australia has managed to con their customers yet again. They have actually removed "Dynamic Cornering Lights" from the GTI and left it for the R only. Headlights are not mentioned anywhere on the VW website to prevent customers from even thinking about the headlights during their purchase. You can only find this out by downloading the GTI/R specifications brochure. You have been conned. Sorry.

I just picked up my MY19 GTI with all the options and the inner DRL does not turn on. Not sure how to get it working.

See my previous post. You cannot get it to work as the new GTI does no longer sport the "Dynamic cornering lights"

No DSG farts, no dynamic cornering lights. What else!

Hi to All,
Just had it confirmed, 2019 gti inner drl’s Are not activated in Australia. The inner lights are not connected and are duds, bum.

No DSG farts

At least they have done something right for a change.

I have been advised that the inner drl is totally non functional and cannot be switched on by any means. apparently there are no leds even in the strip. VAG decided it was a point of difference be
tween the highline and the GTI/R

Are you 100% on this as the R-Design TSI in Malaysia has the functioning LED inner DRL.

I have tried inspecting the lights in mine but near impossible to be sure whether there are actual LED in the inner part of the headlight.

I have a 2018 golf all track premium aswell however my inner drls are not on. We’re yours on from factory?

The double drl are only enabled on the golf gti,R and alltrack premium models

I think you can enable through obd11
I have the double drl on mine and its very cool the single drl looks lame in comparison

@coolbeans11: Hi. I strongly suspect that @Kachingg advice is more wishful hoping than actual reality!! Fact is that ALL VW models (regardless of whether it's an Alltrack, or Golf) are built with just the correct amount of equipment and copper!! In today's commercial world of maximizing return-to-shareholder - there ain't any free goodies in these vehicles!

So, if the inner DRLs on this car have never worked - it's far more likely that there isn't any equipment behind the inner angel-eye light-tubes.

This happens on the Golf mk7 where the GTI has 2 x angel-eyes on each car side - but the inner-pair are blank! VW marketing says that this is a "feature" of the car, rather than a limitation. VW even call this "the GTI signature" - so something of value to be desired!!
