Hi, anyone had situation whereby DRLs on mk2 vRS have stopped working when you start car up? They do come on when you switch sidelights on but previously they came on really bright when car running, not now. I know there's a switch beside the fuses and it still shows as DRLs should be on. 

 

I can't work out why they're only coming on when you switch sidelights on. 

Hope you and yours are well.

 

So the Side Lights are still working which is good.

 

Maybe @UrbanPanzercan help as to why they are not coming on as DRL,s. 

Maybe it is that switch not working.

(Personally as you can maybe guess i would be chuffed they are not on and people thinking you have on Fog lights.)

It's the switch, although on the actual switch is slightly loose for some reason so not holding the "on" position, sorted it for now with it taped to "on" position but will need new switch.

 

Aye we're plugging away G, will message you off forum, hope you and yours all well too.

yes the switch is a poor design and the inner springs go weak, this causes the switch to "relax" and the lights go off.

 

Either replace the switch (which is not really needed) or simply remove switch and join the wires together.

 

Some vehicles never had the switch anyway,

Later ones as in was it the CTHE coming in when the DRL on / off switch was deleted?
