DRL lamps

[Lawce]

I need to upgrade my drl lamps as the vw ones are p--, I've been reading forum posts and wondered if we had got any further on the subject? I think the above puts it simply enough

 

[Loz]

As you have added your own LED DRLs why not disable the dim dip ones?

 

[Lawce]

I would like them all on , but in the mean time how do I do that, or am I about to have a blonde moment?

 

[Pauly]

They can only be turned off by programming via a computer with VCDS or of course by turning on your sidelights

 

[Lawce]

Thanks Pauly, how are you getting on with lamp upgrades?

 

[Pauly]

Havent gone far down the LED route too much cheap crap around, have been trying out some normal style xenon/ice white lamps and only ones i havent got are DRL lamps

 

[Lawce]

Ok just keep me up to date if that changes, I will keep digging and let you know if I crack it

 

[Pauly]

Hoping the DRLs will be here soon, are you after LEDs in particular

 

[Lawce]

Anything really just to try and match the grille drl's

 

[Pauly]

What about headlight, sidelight and fog lamps ?
Have you still got the standard yellow ones

Is there a recommended bulb make/type upgrade list yet so you can self source if necessary?
Sorry if I've missed this info previously!

 

[Lawce]

Yes Pauly everything is standard yellow and the only thing I don't like that vw did to the van, everything else is spot on, only slightly brighter than my mk1 and that's 35 yrs old

Thanks, yes I'd seen that.
Is there a recommendation list yet on which halogen bulbs to upgrade to (i.e. front fog lights upgrade to Philips ??? Etc)

With reference to the DLR's can you not just remove the fuse like you could on the 5.1? That's what I done and just had the led DLR's on

put these on my T5.1 they looked and performed brilliant
sadly the vell is different or i would fit these again
but will fit the normal T6 no problem

Finally found some DRL bulbs in white instead of the insipid yellow ones in the velle..
what a complete nightmare to fit..
not impressed VW..

 

[Caravellet6]

Really with the price of a velle led fronts should be standard

Which bulbs are these?
I have the same twin headlamps as you with the DRL on the inner bottom and I’m struggling to find a ‘proper white’ bulb.

Thanks
