Hi folks...

 

I have a 2009 Skoda superb elegance.

When I select DRL my headlights come on?

This can’t be right can it?

switch is set to auto And I have no warning lights on the dash?

am I being silly and missing something?

 

thanks as always in advance.

Do you have halogen or like me bendy self levelling Xenons?

 

When I purchased my s2 estate a few years back the fog/drl combo never llluninated it was always headlights. I had them coded back to DRL and headlights on when dark on auto. The DRLs are very weak and some people don’t like them. 

Hi mate..thanks for the reply..

I have factory xenon headlights installed.

I had mine coded back to just DRLs then Xenons when needed. 

I upgraded the DRL bulbs to LED. 

They are not as bright. But the Xenon bulbs are not cheap and given I used to drive a lot in dark it may not have made much of a diffence. But even a few hours saved bulb hours is good for me at the time. In contrast on my 2005 octy with Halogens I use them as DRLs and drive with them on all the time. I am very much of the view of being seen, like Volvos, prevent accidents. 

Great idea that mate... any ideas what bulbs the drls are? I presume my fog and cornering don’t use the same bulb or do they?

 

thanks for all the help so far.

will try get them coded somewhere and see if anybody is local to me.

2 separate bulbs from memory 

 

I don’t recall the seller it was from eBay. Out of the 2 I got 1 failed quite quickly and was replaced promptly by the seller. It’s important for me they throw no bulb warning and need no additional resistors. I have been happy with them so far. 

Example auction picture attached. 

Remember to read how to remove the combined bulb holder it’s a little tricky. uTube your friend. 

 

Thanks for much for the info! Must say they look really good don’t they!

I should get around to installing led bulbs for the mirrors too!

 

Thanks again for the info!

 

I wonder if my Carista iOS app would code the drls 🤔 

I have a 2012 140cr and they would not work as bought - gave the bulb out warning. I had to fit resistors. I think it depends on your car's exact spec.
