Snerlo's R36 DRL Mk2 Installation

[Passat R36]

thats right. so if you connect the DRL's dim wire to parker, expecting the DRL will dim a few times.

Hey Snerlo. Looks good!

Could you post a link to the site - definitely interested in these.

Here's the link to where i got mine.

I took a shthouse video of them in operation.
Its on the facetube:

I see that you hooked the dim operation up to the xenons rather than the parkers. Nice work. Which wire did you tap if you don't mind me asking? I wasn't game mucking around with them as I have heard that there is some serious voltage in that region so I didn't want to upset the applecart!!

[kamold]

I tapped the thicker cable which feeds the ballast. Given its going to a relay I figured the worst that could happen would be I'd kill the relay, nothing in the light assembly itself.

Seems to be working fine.

Thanks Snerlo.

On that page one of the options is for Emitting Colour, with either green or red to be selected. I don't understand the choice. What does it mean and which is the best option?

[kamold]

Red. This one dims the drls by 50% when headlights or parkers are on.
Green just turns the drls off instead.

[Netrover]

Great. I'll go for the red option.

Thanks.

[snerlo]

Kamold has hit it on the head. Yeah, i presume most will go for the dimming option

I dont want to should stupid, but having never used Alibaba, what have you found the best way to pay for things is? I cant use paypal on there. Sorry to Hijack the thread, but seing as a lot of you guys are familiar with it I thought id ask.

Thanks.

[kamold]

Just use your CC. It's annoying they don't accept PayPal but I've never had an issue using my Visa on there.

[JB's Dub]

Perfect, thanks, there is so much Passat gear on there cheap! My CC is going to cop a flogging after Xmas!

I am first to admit I have a bit of an aliexpress addiction...
