USA style running lights on UK car?

[v2brett]

cheers fella, dont suppose you know which controller/bit/ byte etc?  and have you got any pics of them?

[rdfcpete]

Haven't yet on pics. Module is central electrics, I forget which number it is but you should find it, particularly if you have the low end byte controller like me.

If you can't find it, PM me and I'll print screen what I did. Tbh it looks a VCDS option that looks better on the halogen headlights as they're more isolated with no light to clash with, although that's just IMO 

( Liking the new sig btw - tidy    )

[v2brett]

ive got today off so i think i may have a look this afternoon, i bet i cant find it lol   ill get some pics if i do. though

and thanks pete    i just did the sig using the photobucket pic editor

[v2brett]

got mine working earlier and they look ok,  they do clash with the sidelights on the xenons abit though.

does anyone know the legality of running an orange light on the front in the uk?  will i get in trouble if i do decide to run these?

ill get some pics up later

[v2brett]

piccy`s for yall,  there set at 90% brightness in these, which is abit too bright imo

[keano]

Love them. Although id probably try and set them to dim to 20% when the xenons are on.

Do we know if this can be done with halogens yet?

[rdfcpete]

Looks good Brett. I don't think mine enabled properly so ill play with these again tomorrow. Do they work with the sidelights at night? That garage shot shows how bright they can be 

[v2brett]

keano - im sure it can be done with halogens

and pete there on whenever the lights are on (side and dipped beam), plus thats only 90% brightness so they`ve got a lil bit more left in them      they didnt activate under what i 1st tried in the coding, so maybe thats what you have selected at the min.  the 1 i changed was further down in the controller 

[rdfcpete]

Cool, that must be why then!

Where they are in your garage, they literally look as bright as average halogen H7 bulbs  I saw them on my HTC earlier but looking on the laptop, they're impressively bright.

Can you remember which byte you modified if it wasn't the one I changed?
Once it's all clear one of us should knock up an FAQ post for this for the benefit of other/new users 

Thanks.

Cheers

i cant remember exactly now  , to be 100% sure ill check it again tomorrow. may have been byte 7

^^^ can Morty remember?

[rdfcpete]

Question is then, can they be triggered 'automatically' as independent DRL's, i.e. triggered automatically without switching to the side light setting?

Thought I'd ask Darren may be the man for this one.
As it's not been mentioned before, I'm guessing probably not...

[mortygttdi]

Just leave your headlight switch in auto, I'm at work now so don't have my netbook or lead but from memory I think Brett was right with byte 7 dimming of front parking lights ill check first thing.
