Is it possible to set my indicators on my standard headlights as DRL's? Like the R32's have on the xenons?
Ajay
-
You can have indacators enabled with your sidelights/headlights but not on there own!
-
Cheers dude, appreciate the reply. Easily done through Vag com?
-
Yeah, will look like this with halogen headlights :happy2:

-
Ohh i love that look! I'll have to get it done asap, what % are those set at?
-
I think about 80% but cant be sure! :chicken:
-
I read a post on here several days ago along similar lines where the main beam (inner bulbs) are set to run at something like 23% power as DRL's via VAGcom.
If you could set the indicators too, that would be intresting IMO!!
Certainly a different look plus addes safety,............
-
Any links to that post?
-
This maybe of some help................?

Do the indicators stay on when the headlights are fully on? (dipped) or just when the switch is in the sidelight possition?
Cheers
-
Dipped and sidelights! But not on there own! (drl's) :happy2:
-
Ahh sounds good :) do you how to exactly do it via vag com? i asked awesome gti if they could do it for me but they said they don't know if it can be done.. which it obviously can.
-
Cant remember off the top of my head, Will go take a look just for you pal! :happy2: give me 10 mins.
-
Thanks mate, really appreciate it :notworthy:
-
Interesting!
Has anyone managed to do this on Xenons?

Works on xenons and halogen headlights :happy2:
Just had a look but couldnt do a screen grab for some reason :confused: anyways you need -
Central electronics controller 09
Then byte 7
It says left/right turn signal as parking light
You can set them from 1% to 100% in the decimal value box (first box on the left)
Once you have entered new decimal value scroll to next byte then back again to make sure the number you entered is still there! Then press 'do it' and the jobs a goodun'
If you enter number then exit long coding box and press 'do it' then it wont work!
I just had them at 80% and was bright as fook!
Good luck out there :signLOL:
-
Thank you very much VWRASCAL, i can now pass this onto Awesome as i don't have a vag com of my own lol! :jumping:
-
You can do this with a Polar FIS+ too. :happy2:
In fact there are a few options with regard to DRL's/American DRL's.

I need a new updated version of the control module to get this to work :( anyone got one? lol
-
According to VW i need part number 3C8937049AC?? my original unit is 1k0937049 T (2004 MK5) I don't have a clue about it so if anyone can help it would be appreciated.
-
am i loosing it? this just leaves the indicators on all the time right?
-
Yes Dave but when you indicate they still flash has normal, Notice on american cars that there indicators are on all the time.
Darren
-
Does anyone know more about this updated module i need? i dont want to end up getting the wrong one..
-
Subscribed!!
-
Ajay you don't need an updated module to make this work buddy.
The option is setup in all the modules including the lowline, its actually a backup option.
Darren

Hi Darren, i got a vag com plugged into my car today at a tuning place in Bradford but we couldnt find the option to do this set up. I followed the instructions as given above.. there was nothing in central elecs to do with parking lights. :( we probably did it wrong lol

I'm free almost all the time ss im a uni student, except wednesday evenings as i work until 9pm. You give me a time and i'll be there. I'll give you something of course for your time to have a look at it :drinking:
Ajay
-
Quite welcome to come round Thursday afternoon if your available :happy2:
If your central electrics doesn't have the option which it should I do have one that you can have,
Darren
-
That should be ok with me :grin: Appreciate this dude. i'll Pm you with my number that way you can drop me a text or PM with yours so i can get in touch on thursday. If not just pop some directions in a reply PM. :pomppomp:
Cheers

Guys.
Am I correct in that you must have te 30 byte controller in order to be able to active this?
Thanks,
Lee
-
I'm not sure on the subject at all. I read that somewhere but I'm hearing different things.. So I'm clueless lol
-
for the turn signals has sidelights no you don't need a 30byte controller I had it on my old controller before I went to the 30bytes version.
Darren

i had it activated with my 21 byte controller and now with my 30byte too!

Byte 7 in cent elec controller! You cant miss it :happy2:
-
would love to do this, looks v cool!
-
If you have to have either side lights or dipped beam on for this to work, doesn't it kind of defeat the object of them being DRL's? Or have I misunderstood?
They do look good though. :happy2:
-
Big thanks to Darren (Mortygttdi) for getting my lights sorted for me. He definitely knows his stuff, glad to have such a good guy close by. :drinking:
-
So it does work on Halogens?
What was done? How was it done? Details please :party:
-
Seems to be very simple. If your any good with coding just follow the instructions given above. They seem spot on, the guy I went to at 1st didn't really have a clue how to do it but darren had it up and running in 60 seconds. And yes it works with standard halogen lights. Looks awesome at night :D
Ajay
-
Think we need to see some pics bud!
-
I'll post some tomorrow dude, haven't taken any yet. Mine are set to 50%, they look spot on.
-
Poor quality pics uploaded from iphone, but they arent too bad!

-
I like it, do they stay on when you have the dipped beams on?
-
Yeah, dipped and sidelights mate!
-

Darren
Hi Darren,
Thank you for your help and confirming how do this :happy2:
Do you know if i is possible to change to the 30byte controller and roughly the cost implications in doing so?
I also want to active the corning assist (fog light coming with the steering and indicators), and understand I you need the 30byte controller in order to active this.
Many Thanks,
Lee
-
Looks good, but I would prefer it if they worked without the side and dipped lights. Is that even possible?

Not possible via vagcom. :happy2:
-
Not being a kill joy but I am wondering about the legalities behind this in this country. I thought it was an offence to show other than white lights to the front.

It very well could be but mine passed an MOT with them on, tester said as long as they flashed when indacators are selected then all is good! :smiley:
-
Did this to mine and a mates car yesterday. Looks pretty good. Went for 50% though as it matches the sidelights abit better. Nice little mod.
-
Its not illegal, look at the likes of Volvo and BMW both have the orange indicator showing all the time. It is only illegal to show blue lights at the front i.e imitating a police vehicle :happy2:
Lee01 yes you can change to the 30byte controller very easily, I changed Ajay's out in about 5 minutes for a midline one has is was showing a bad fault, I had a spare one so just swapped it out for him.
I think 30byte controllers go for about £140 on eBay??

does the 30 byte controller allow cornering fogs?or is that something altogether different?
-
Yes it does Andy just a couple of bytes and dropdown boxes to alter and your up and running.

Hi Darren,
Thank you very much for your help!
Lee

Hi Guys,
Sorry to drag this up again, however while activating the cornering fogs function we could not active the front indicators to come on as running lights?
Is this possible with the 30 byte controller?
Cheers chaps
Lee
-
Yes it should be. I have both indicators and cornering fogs activated.
-
I don't suppose you can remember exactly how to do it?
-
Have a look here mate. This is what I used.

-
Thanks for the link mate, cornering foggies are actived and working fine however it is a more detailed explantation of how to get the front indicators on as running lights which is causing a problem!
-
Have a look at reply 15, top of page 2. I just followed that and it worked. Bare in mind they will only be on if sidelights or headlights are on not all the time.

Matto,
I have just tried again, this mod must be specific to the controller module fitted.
I have no problem locating and going into Central Electronics - 09
I do not have the option of "byte 7"?
I can see this area does appear to control the lighting on the vehicle however I can not see option of "turn signal as parking light".
If anyone can help I would be grateful :happy2:
Cheers guys

Any pics on a xenon car with just side lights? Should look good with the strip of orange

:wink:
-
is anyone in scotland able to do this for me? preferably in glasgow?
-
Correct me if im wrong,but does this mod not just look like your indicators are stuck on,imo that is, shame you wouldnt be able to change the colour of them to white as they are indicators first and foremost lol
-
On my xenons I have them set at around 5-10% so the orange is near gone and it just leaves the nice yellowy glow which tie's in with the side lights.
Darren
-
Not really had a play about with them but mine are currently set at 50%.
-
Tried this on my halogen's, looks cool.
However, each time my indicator goes on when the lights are on it comes up with a bulb out error - anyone any ideas of a workaround? (Not turning off the light out diagnosis though!)

Hi Darren,
Can you get us a picture of what yours looks like? I'd love to do this mod but dont want it looking stupidly orange - but if you've done yours as little as 5 - 10% id imagine that it looks pretty subtle.
cheers :happy2:
-
Doesn't look out of place on the Xenons either :happy2:

This is something I may try, do they light up if you have your light switch on auto or do you have to turn it to side or dip?
-
^ Just side and dipped Phil :happy2:
You can run front foglights as active DRL's on the auto switch with the right VCDS config but that setup isn't in compliance with the road traffic act AFAIK
