Pete,
There's a thread on Tyresmoke all about what I think you may be after:
Linky : - How To Fit LED's RS4 B7 DRLs....
HTH. Otherwise check out the Audi forums, cos I don't know the answer 
Thanks RR.
That fella on the link has replaced his yellow beams with a Xenon/white look beam.
I simply want to the use the full beams as DRL's with the bulbs I've already got, just like the Rs4 and other Audis with the same feature (I'm right in saying they are the full beam bulbs aren't I?)
I think what I'm referring to is the high-beam or 'Hi-Beam' DRL.
I don't think it can be done as I've checked all the VAGCOM modules, but obviously purchasing an upgraded module might do the trick, but I don't know anything about what's involved with that hence my question 
To use the H7 halogen main beam on the Mk5 Golf as a DRL would be fairly dangerous - which is why it can't be enabled in VCDS. Dipped beam or fog lamps remain the only factory fit OEM DRL option.
Thanks for the response TT, this is an old one now and I've learnt a lot since these posts about the bulbs and how they are used.
When you refer to dipped beam, do you mean simply the headlight 'on' position? I assume you do.
If DRLs are enabled in VCDS (I think this is the 'Scandanavian' setting), then dipped headlamps will be on whenever the ignition is on - with regards to the actual headlamp switch, this basically becomes useless - because the Scandanavian DRL setting effectively disables using side lights (apart from on a stationary parked vehicle - which is all they are good for anyway). If you use the North American DRL setting, you can then sub-select either the front fogs OR the dipped headlamps as DRLs, and this setting also retains control of the headlamp switch (I think) meaning you can still turn off the 'DRLs' and drive on 'city lights'.
I'm gonna try and bring this one alive again if I can as I'd love to know the answer, I'm determined 
What I meant by the previous few posts was I want to wire my GTI so that the full beams are on in the day, on their own. Even if they have to be triggered by a switch or something, that's fine. I just want to achieve the look of the 8P S3 and Mk6 Golf range with (at least what I think) is the 'Flash to pass' (in US Terms) or high beam/full beam (in UK terms) as an independent light. Obviously currently, I can only use Hi beam/full beam with the headlamps on dipped beam. Pulling the stalk towards the hi beam position without dipped beam invoked does nothing.
If it's possible to wire them in this fashion, I can then run them in the daytime in place of a DRL.
Hopefully, I'm coming over slightly clearer in my question 
Not only will you severly dazzle oncomming traffic, but you will no doubt get pulled by the plod if you drove around with your main beams on permanently. 
Indeed, that makes sense however you can see why I thought they were the H7 full beam bulbs, purely because A; they are positioned in the regular location (on most VWs and Audis) where the full beam bulbs usually sit and B; they are much brighter than regular W5 sidelight bulbs thus I guessed that these would be about the same brightness as a H7 bulb in some shape or form, but seems not to be the case judging but your explanation
Cheers.
No worries mate. I fully understand where you come from on this. Indeed, on my RS4, I actually wish there was a way of making the DRLs illuminate with full beam - because to onlookers, the Bi-Xenons tend to look f.ing bright on dipped as well as main - and a 'retaliatory' main beam flash sometimes doesn't get through their thick skulls that my dipped Xenons are not too 'high'.
