Question about DRLs on the newer Mk3 Scirocco

Post by RoccoR »

Hi, I have a Scirocco R which I have had 10 months now from brand new. My car was one of the last Sciroccos built. I am extremly happy with it.

I do have question that I hope somebody might be able to help me with. The DRL on my Scirocco are within the headlights and not on the bumper. Those lights lower down within the bumper are the indicators on my car. As far as I know I cannot turn them on as DRLs as well. I certainly can't find out how to do it on the instrument panel.

Does anyone know whether or not they turn on? and if not, how can I get them to run as DRL in addition to the built DRL I currently have?

I may not have worded this well, so hope you can make sense of what I saying.

Please see photos I’ve just called into my local VW dealership and the manager of parts and service has confirmed that they are indicator LEDs only and apparently £90 each.

I’m not sure whether there’s a retrofit kit out there is a indicator and also DRL. I’ll have to research it.


Cheers

Bump, I would also be very interested in this, But looking at mine it seems to only be for indicators as the bulbs are orange all the way along.

I don't suppose you have a part number for those lights do you?
My near side one has misted so much that it shorted out half the LEDs the other day and now they don't work.
