If this doesn't help you figure the bulb situation...I can try.

Hi roh excvt - from american forum haha ,....As far as the vcds setup...wuhchumean?? I run my fogs as DRL's and have the inner halogens set to flash-to-pass...and fogs to stay on with high beams.

thats exactly what I mean haha - some yt vids I have watched they mention changinbg drl setup etc... Also I mean what brand of bulb ... ie what light color and brand. e.g . osram intense blue  , nightbreakers ,etc.     are fogs not illegal as drl in uk

I think it's worth a go using aftermarket bulbs for the xenon...if they don't last...switch to a better quality or oem. Be good to know which brand is the oem supplier, right?
I use Nokya yellow bulbs for both my fogs and halogens...so when I flash to pass it is more noticeable.  I also added yellow Lamin-x film to the fog lenses for more intensity of the yellow projection.

... also I know you're from the usa mkv forum haha so the law concerning drl might be different in uk but not sure.... I would love to know if anybody knows?...

Yes...but you can swap out the settings like if going to a gtg or club run or even a track day. Copy the old and new coding onto a word document and you can swap them out quite easily.
I give each coding a "description: enter coding"...copy + paste coding into vcds. I do think I was told once by someone there that fog's as drl was not legal. 

One setting I have been stumped with, and likely not possible...is a setting to set certain lights to flash. I've seen this and even on a mk7 GTI here...but not figured out if a mk5 can be done.

I really like the set up you have - I'm def going to run the wire into cecm for bi xenon! so i can use flash to pass too. I love the look of those nokya - Not 100 percent sure about the lamin x  but I have not seen it in person so no idea - just worried if it looks a bit cheap? - maybe I'm thinking of that cheap film on ebay haha... copying and pasting  code - sounds like great advice!  thanks!

Everyone that has questioned the yellow fogs or my smoked side mirror signals reply "really?" when I say they are laminated with lamin-x. Thought it funny when this was posted: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,30806.msg1054879.html#msg1054879

I have smoked mirror markers but they are also covered with Lamin-x charcoal.

haha , brilliant, so they look like the real thing! I say the more you improve the red black contrast the better! - that's why your black and red gti looks so nice... I have to look into lamin x a bit further...

Yeah...not cheesy looking at all. I've had all of it on for 6 years and doesn't fade, lift(...and I use my 2700psi gas powered pressure washer for every wash), or go dull on its surface. Just treat it with whatever you apply to the rest of the car...wax or quick detail mist.

Morimoto 6000K bulbs in my OEM xenons. I believe they're actually a US brand. Recommended by EM Tuning - I'm sure the guy there (Trups) knows more about VAG lighting than anyone else in the UK!





Haven't seen this done on the Golf yet, but morimoto also do demon eyes (remote operated colour changing LEDs that go in the projector). It means splitting the lights to get to the projectors though! Exactly what Trups did on my RS4:

those 6 k are not too blue?  they look nice... demon eyes!  I'm sure I saw some on youtube - if you search for "mk5 mk4 r32 angel headlights"... ?
