Hi, i have a MK3 Octavia VRS Wagon - My daytime running lights are failing - 1 semi works and the other doesn't. I know via the internal screen controls i can turn them off in the settings, however this resets everytime i turn the car off/on. is there a hack to make sure they turn off and stay off myself? If i pull the fuse will the fault light stay on permanently? Right now it sometimes throws me a fault warning and sometimes doesn't.

Front DRLs can be coded out with VCDS or similar tool in Central Electrics block, pretty much any lighting combination can be altered in that way. But it is quite involved, every light is on a different light "channel" setting, and you can change when the particular "channel" is used. I did some recoding 6 years ago to enable rear/scandinavian DRLs and 5-light stop lights and remember it was easy enough but quite tedious to code in everything, any exterior light on the car could be coded in that way.
