Hi I have upgraded My H15 Bulbs on my 2014 Elegance to Mtec Super white which are great On Drl and main beam but really yellow On Sidelights When Dip is on. 

 

Can I change To Led's have tried a couple of different ones but get a error, maybe setting in vcds? Or recommended alternatives that have been tried

 

Can I change So Drl is on with Dip Beam instead of sidelights.... Is this legal of possible?

 

Sorry for the newbie questions

Illegal, LED's are ok for interior stuff but not external lights, unless the car is designed to use them as standard.

Been here before, you need to alter the sidelight brightness %, Black_sheep did it for me with the tech. help of AndyVee.

 

I'll have a look later & find the old thread

Any luck with a previous thread / setting? 

Thanks to this Forum after some digging I had found the answer

I have implemented this which works but yet to have a proper look whilst driving at night etc

 

just extend my thanks to everyone for a great site and members

It won't be legal because DRLs at night will dazzle oncoming road users - they are basically a dim main beam. This is why they are switched off when the headlights come on.

Understood 

 

The setting just increases the voltage to make the side lights slightly brighter (& whiter) 

And not as bright as the Drl output and the way it looks to me not as bright as my dip beams so should not be any issues

 

Cheers

Why not just set it to 0 / off.? 

 

led perf got some good led from them

ledperf.com

Only problem is the colour, the MTEC'S are available in all three front light sizes ie. H7, H8 & H15

Here is my setup

Philips ultinon h8 in fogs, fogs also used as DRL instead of the H15

Philips Diamond vision in H7 for dipped, the H15 sidelight are dimmed to 5 to get rid of the yellowish along with dipped beam.

 

 

 

Errrr. The H15's do the DLR's & the MAIN BEAM !!!!!

Yes and side light when running dipped beam. Whats your errrrr point? 

 

My point was they ain't just DLR's

 

I don't understand your brightness setting for the side lights either, is that 5% or setting 5 ?

I think he disabled only the side light function so main beam / DRL still work as normal.

0% brightness setting can cause bulb out error, so probably that's why the 5%?

Yes dim set to 5
