Default Vag'ing headlights to remove drl Question

Hello AW,

Question, if I vag my bi-xenon lights (upgrading to them) to remove the DRL and euro mode for the no amber, will my city lights still be working or once I vag them off, the city lights remain off??

Is there a way i could vag the lights so I can just have hid and city lights on??

thanks
-randy

Default City Lights should still work. That's how I have mine

I Vag'ed them for the "rest of the world" coding under electrical (IIRC, it's been a while) No amber except when signal is on, and city lights stay on with xenons

Default My car has a button to turn DRLs on/off, so VAG isn't needed. Was this an optional feature?

And like Sprinty said, the "rest of the world" setting will turn off your ambers except as a turn signal and leave you with your city lights as parking lights and city lights plus HIDs as your headlights.

Default since you're upgrading to bi-xenons....anything could happen. You have to try and see.

Its not an easy upgrade and all depends on how you wire them up.

Default DRL's might be something included with the bixenons

I don't remember if the halogens have them as well or not...

Default yeah bi-xenons use ex highbeam as DRL. Not sure about buttons to disable them

unless it was something custom that Gorobei did. You can do a few things with bi-xenons to change the settings but apart from disabling the DRLs completely, there isn't much else. Halogens have more options to play with. Many options can be applied to xenons but they don't take well and cause all sorts of problems.

Default The button isn't there for mandatory DRL countries.

For example, Canadian cars don't have it.
