Yeah I apologise guys, I meant drls. I'm not doing this as a looks thing purely, the HID lights I have fitted have been properly aligned and I've got people to drive my car while I drive another car (quite a low car) in the opposite direction and they don't blind. The only time I would blind any other driver is when going over the crest of a hill when all lights would blind someone. I would do the same with the bumper lights, make sure they aren't to bright and dont point to high. If they did I'd remove them. Sorry if this annoys any of you.

HMMMMMM As newer Golfs, Polos and Passats have LED DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS there should be no problem

Would pay to read that stickie as there was something in there about DRL's having to turn off or dim when on dip or something

The Passat ones seem to dim to half bright when headlights come on

What happens with your headlights when on a Saturday night you get some friends in the back and the angle changes.

Still OK???? Thats why they have to have levellers.


End of my rant about them

If I ever actually had people in the back I would be concerned but since in Victoria I'm not allowed to carry more than one passenger between 16-25. Also, surprisingly, I did consider this and sat a few people in the back and also the boot to simulate a full load and adjusted for that. Thanks for heads up about LED DRL's in the HID sticky. Ill have a look. I assumed it was just for HID headlights.
