DRL Style Bright Halogen Sidelights
« on: June 09, 2009, 01:10:44 pm »
Guys,

Looking for a set of the very bright Halogen looking sidelights for my 2006 Golf Gti.
These are most noticeably used on the Audi A6 and the later pre-facelift sportback Audi A3's in a DRL style capacity. I purely want them for sidelight functionality. I think they'd look nice against the Grey of my Gti :)


Ebay only seem to do the Xenon style ones; I don't mind them having a hint of white glow, but rather they were very similar to the Audi style. I also understand many Xenon LED sidelights last about an hour too, this is what I found on my RS Clio's LED sidelights anyway? A few days usage would be nice.

I'm also understand I'll get a bulb error on the MF trip unless I initialise VAGCOM?

Thanks,
Pete.

To advance on this, I notice the Mk6 golf GT's seem to have them, look smart and ensure you are clearly seen during the day, DRL style.

Must be some knocking around the web for Mk5's?

....This is the Mk6 DRL - A bit too yellow imo : -



I prefer my proper Hella LED DRL's which replace my fogs : -

That's the ones matey, on the Mk6.

They are very yellow, but I don't mind until I've mustered enough cash for some Xenons, as I have headlamp washers  :wink:
Any idea on a source, plus if they fit Mk5's?

I've seen yours around various forums, Mkivs.net and golfgtiforum. They look ace - is there a bulb with a similar image for sidelight fitting?

Ta,
P.

Okay, just some bright halogen side lights then please?  :smiley:
Is is worth a call to places that stock Hella side lights for Mk5 VWG fitment?

if anything like Audi if you have Xenon's on the mk6 hopefully you'll get whiter DRL's.

On a note on the Audi's I like the way they dim when the indicator is on and then come back to full brightness once off, very swish and well designed.

Yeah look swish.

If I'm honest mate, I just want some slightly brighter side lights than the standard ones. I'll just drive on side lights when its raining or heading towards dusk, until I find a set of Xenons for a naughty price.

Is there any downside to fitting LED side lights and receiving the bulb error?
It doesn't disable the bulbs does it, or restrict any other aspects to the car?

I can live with a bulb error on the midline for a while if it means the side lights will look smarter.

iirc it disables the bulb so the led wont work, to get the led working you would have to fit resistors  :happy2:

Just get white style bulbs - I fitted these with my xenon's as they matched the xenon white better than having the contrasting yellow.  worked fine.
