Just to update this.
Bearing in mind I have the OEM Xenons fitted.
I contact VW Customer services, as I'm still interested in this. Was advised of the following initially it would be like the MK6 Golf DRL's
only to be called back later with:
New light switch, still not to clear on what functions this has, but guessing the settings are:
OFF/ DRL/ Side Lights/ Dipped Lights(Xenons) + Front Fogs/Rear Fogs(As in the Audi's). VW appear to lose the setting for AUTO LIGHTS on the switch.
Software update (NOT a VCDS tweak) to the ECU(Power control ECU)?? Dealer would need to hook the car up to VAS and update the ECU from Germany.
With the switch in the DRL position ONLY the Xenons come on, no other lights.
Was advised although didn't seem to sure, the AUTO lights feature still works from this setting, so when required the lights auto switch on.
Disclamer was speak to the dealer
If customer services don't know exacty after speaking to thier "In House tech" what chances have the dealers got!
