DRL's are a bit yellow..

Just be careful with the LED bulbs because it has affected my DAB really bad until the point of dropping out so much I have reverted back to FM unless I run with the headlights on them DAB is good again.
I am not sure if all replacement LED bulbs will cause the same issue though.
This is the best i can do
Release wire clasp and remove housing cover -1- from headlight
Release grip piece with holder -1- in direction of -arrow- and
pull out from reflector
Pull out daytime running light bulb -1- in straight line from
holder -2-.
Daytime running light bulb -L174- / -L175- : 12V, W21W
Risk of damage to the headlight.
♦ Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with bare fingers.
Fingers leave traces of grease on the glass bulb, which
evaporate when the bulb is switched on and cause the
glass bulb to cloud over.
♦ Wear e.g. clean fabric gloves when inserting bulbs.
♦ Make sure the housing cover is correctly seated when installing.
The ingress of water will cause permanent damage
to the headlight.

So the verdict according to VW documentation, both headlights look the same from the rear
H7 as pictured in diagram 1 above remove cover 1 then lamp is down low inside as per diagram 2
H4 as pictured in diagram 1 above remove cover 3 then lamp is directly inside cover as per diagram below
I can confirm on H4 cover 3 for DRL as this is how i changed DRLs on mine

For those who have replaced the DRL bulbs on the H4 units which bulbs did you use?
I got mine from Lightec Autostyle and they are great when turned on. However when turned off they flicker very faintly. If you lock the van then they stop flickering after 1 minute, but when unlocked they never stop. So not ideal when camping!
Thanks!

I have got blanks in the side lights but was hoping for something similar for the DRL's but to date no luck.
Leave lamps in but unplugged and fit dummy load hidden behind somewhere
something like this but branded, some of the cheap ones get HOT
BAU15S 1156, 581, PY21W LED CANBUS CAN-BUS ERROR LOAD RESISTOR FIX OBC DECODER
have seen philips ones somewhere, better to spend a few quid on something decent that will last
