That unlit section beside the front indicators
« on: October 12, 2011, 10:00:25 am »
...does anyone know if it is where DRL's are fitted in countries which require them?

I'm sure I've seen an R32 in the past with this area lit  :confused: would look quite good lit up in combination with the sidelights IMO  :happy2:

Xenon's have them lit i believe. Been looking at fitting a bulb holder into these to use as side lights,

I remeber benny-lenny did this on his mk5 but with blue led bulbs :sick: nice idea poorly executed

On xenons it's the side light. On halogens it's not used as the sidelight is in the full beam lens

thanks chaps, I thought I'd seen it used before!

I dont understand why, apart from just to look different, they don't use the full beam reflector as the sidelight on the HID headlights as it still has a halogen full beam does it not? Anyway, I wonder how easy it is to retrofit this to halogen headlights  :popcornsoda:

Have often wondered about the possibility for DRL's inthis wee unused slot.

Eagerly awaiting somebody with a spare set of headlights to DIY this. :popcornsoda:
