VW GTI DRLs and Dynamic Cornering Lights

[Sharkie]

In all situations except doing U-turns in inner city Melbourne. GTI can do them in one then, the R needs a 3+ point turn [emoji23]

True that LOL

Some of you guys are not very helpful. Sites like these are for enthusiasts looking to achieve things with their cars, or guitars, or whatever.

This may be an performance improvement, or it may be in appearance.

Money better spent on a tune or some nice wheels IMO? Why not have both? It’s not your money and isn’t what the OP was asking for. I’m sure they area ware of the tuning and wheel shops available.

Whenever someone asks a question and you feel like answering, "why?", and "don’t bother," then please don’t bother replying, it just wastes people’s time reading your bah humbug negative thoughts.

Let people have crazy ideas, or even normal ones like this. It’s a valid thought.


The correct answers are like Don, explaining what happened to the lights on the GTI. They lost a DRL and the Dynamic Light Assist function when the car became one model with all the Performance options as standard. VW giveth and VW taketh away.

The actual lights themselves are pretty expensive to purchase from VW, though not the most expensive headlights by a long shot.

They would be almost 3.8K to buy from VW and you’d have to use some parts from your current lights.

I am told the lights for the KIA Stinger are 5k each, so this is not that bad.

I too would prefer the full lighting system from before. Euro GTI’s do feature these and the Dynamic rears, and they are currently on the GTITCR model, but it has other features incompatible with me purchasing it so Idid go with the standard GTI myself last year.

What you are forgetting that this is a forum for everyone, who may not have opinions that align with yours, but never the less are entitled to express them.

If you dont like them dont read them.

Seems you have only been on here a short time compared to some, so just get used to the way things go.

LOL geez mate, someone got hurt feelings here? We can say what we like, it’s a public forum.

What’s correct to you doesn’t make it universally correct. You sound like one of these narrow-minded woke cultists who get offended on other people’s behalf.

Veteran78, PM me if you want some more info, I'm holding off at the moment but at some point I will probably be getting these lights. I have already installed the Dynamic rear lights from the R, and European GTI. Of course that was a waste of my time and money when I asked about it here, but I love having those lights every drive.

There are other forums where questions like these, and even crazier ideas, are welcome without ridicule. Have a look at: GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum Forums - VWROC - VW R Owners Club VW Vortex - Volkswagen Forum

Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate reading 'both sides of the coin' so to speak.

Not really looking to add any performance mods yet as it is still early days on my car. Just want to savour the stock ride at the moment then decide later on.

What I can do right off the bat is just do a few aesthetic enhancements.

Keep savouring that stock ride, it gets better and better. My 2019 has noticeably more pull at 18,000km than it did before, no mods. Sensational car when new, even more mind-blowing 18months in. I recommend Michelin Pilot Sport 4S if you’re running 19inch wheels. No more wheel spin!

Still running the stock Potenzas at the moment. Will definitely look at the Michelins when it is time to change. Currently just finished up the break-in period at 1700km. Looking to do more a spirited drive up in the Blue Mountains this weekend!
