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.

But they won't trigger on the 'Auto' setting will they Daz, they have to be spooled by the sidelight setting?
Anyway so they trigger automatically on the 'Auto' setting, i.e. you don't have to manually turn the switch?

Also, which byte is it to Dim the indicator bulbs when the Xenons or headlights are on?

Update
i had to take this off as it was making my DRL'S flicker when my headlights were on
if i have my headlights switched off and my DRL'S are on they are fine
luckly the kind neighbour(police woman) saw these yesterday as i was driving behind her!!!

^^^ That's a shame Golfman :/ At least you realised quickly

I've disabled them as they look silly with my Xenons + LED sidelights, which are both obviously very white. The yellow just interferes with the look.

Despite them looking good in the day, I couldn't work out how to set the dimming with headlights so they'll have to be de-activated

^ Sorry to lead away from the meet subject boys...

> Have we established how to dim/disable the turn signal bulbs when the headlamps/xenon headlamps are turned on? If I can do this (which currently I can't, the turn signals stay very bright and make the Xenons look tommy-wank), then I'll run this as per the original few posts!  

[rich83]

Im having no joy getting the sidelights on! I can get the dimmed indicators to work but only in the 'sidelight on' position!
