DRL's and Xenons

Featured Replies

What do people think about the DRLs with normal headlights?

Do they look very yellow against the DRL's?

I guess the Xenons look best with DRLs??

The DRLs dim when the headlights are on anyway

At least you have two DRL's the same colour :rofl:

Depends which type of DRLs. I thought that with new soon-to-be-mandatory type DRLs (on Octavia either second bulb in in fog lights, or LEDs in similar location) when the DRLs were on the headlights were off, and vice versa, i.e. not possible to have both on at once.

Page 52 of owners' manual explains what bulbs comes on with what types of DRLs.

"On vehicles with separate lights* for daylight driving lights in the fog lights or in the

front bumper, the parking lights and the licence plate light do not come on when activating

the function daylight driving lights (neither front nor rear).

If the vehicle is not equipped with separate lights* for daylight driving lights, the

combination of the low beam, the parking lights (front and rear) including the licence

plate light is used as daylight driving lights."

If I've read it wrong then I guess the best colour match would depend on if the DRLs are LED type (vRS and Scout) or fog light type (any FL Octavia with fogs): so Xeons to colour match the LEDs, and H-type incandesents to match the second bulbs in the fog housing.
