I've recently bought a new-shape Octavia (2009, Elegance TDi Estate).

Mounted low down in the front bumper are two sets of white lights.

I know the lights towards the centre of the car are the front fog lights. They work. That's fine.

However what are the other pair of lights for, mounted next to the front fog lights?? They have bulbs and wiring going to them, but nothing I do makes them illuminate.

Are they:

i) The 'cornering lights' mentioned in the manual

ii) Daytime running lights

or something else?

Incidentally I've just got the 'standard' light switch for the side/dip/fog lights. Mine doesn't have the 'Auto' postion.

Thanks

They are DRL's - loads of threads on this - just scroll through a few pages!

You will need to have then activated by your dealer or a friendly member with Vagcom

DRL's are not law until 2011. Skoda have added them in preperation but not yet activated them from the factory (except the vRS and Superb).
