Evening so today i got an alarm on dash saying check front left daytime running light. I also got a yellow triangle light on dash for it. When i checked light it seems to flicker/half of it goes out. Ijust got new headlight bulbs put in on Thursday so could this be connected or is it a loose wire ? Is it possible to change the daylight bulb or will it be a full headlight unit thanks for any help

Have you got the headlight units with 2 H4 bulbs with reflector units, or 4 X H7 with dipped projector units, or full LED units?

It would be helpful to know what year your model is and if you mean LED daylight or incandescent filament (ordinary bulb). - (Typed before AGFalco;s reply).

 

I changed the daylight ordinary bulbs on my wife's car only last week, they're same as indicator bulbs P21W (382 in old money), got the hook tool out of the boot, turn the front wheels towards the engine to give more room to reach up in the wheel arch, pull cover off with hook tool, took quite a pull, reach in, slightly twist to remove bulb holder - full details in the Owner's Manual. - https://manual.skoda-auto.com/004/en-com/Models 

 

 

It can sometimes help to have the model details shown in the bit on the l/h/s of each post, I’ve no idea what that bit is called, it’s the bit with your posting 'name'.

 

I don’t think this info is shown on all devices to all viewers but you only have to enter the info once (and change as required) so worth the effort I think.

 

The following helped another poster get the details on display. –

• click on your 'name', very top right of this page
• on the drop menu that appears click on 'Profile'
• click on the black box 'Edit Profile'
• scroll down to 'Car Info'
• enter details
• click on green box 'Save'.

 

This might save you having to repeat some information and tell some viewers the details without having to ask or have them referring to a different something not with your car.

Why did you change the headlight bulbs, that might or might not have some thing to do with the flickering LED DRL.  Were the new headlight bulbs different from the previous set.  Just replacing the LED DRLs may not be the resolve of the problem.

 

You can the DRLs off via the infotainment menu.

 

The warning light is doing its job by letting you know there is a problem with the light.

Different resistance is being noted.

 

I don't think that you can ( easily ) change the DRL LED's.

I presume you have the 4 X H7 bulbs with dipped projector headlight units?

You can Turn the DRL's via the infotainment menu via:-

Car.

Settings.

 

Note that these are also your parking/side light bulbs, they just work at a lower power output.

Hello, did you solve this issue? I also have the same problem.
