polo driving lights

[STV4SYT]

To the OP. What is wrong with running with low beam on?

Even though my GTI has DRL's aesthetically I prefer the low beam. I just leave low turned on and lights come on and off automatically with the ignition. May be the same in polo but haven't tested.

Polo without comfort pack does not have the GTI auto off lights. Turn the ignition off with lights on and it beeps at you reminding you to turn your lights off.

As far as I'm aware, all new Polos have daytime running lights in the headlights (with the exception of the BlueMotion which has them in the bumper where the fogs are) in the UK at least. new laws coming in 2012 which make them mandatory.

Latest research reports that DRLs have little or no beneficial effect in bright sunlight countries like Australia

Sorry to reopen this, I’ve just brought my partner a polo gti and I’m wanting to upgrade the halogens to leds. With the drls is there anything special I need to do? Or can I just swap out the halogens for h7 leds?

Physically it’s just a straight globe swap. There are legality questions, but I’m not going to get into that. There are some really good quality led globes around now at excellent prices.

Only if you want to blind everybody with your two suns in totally unsuitable reflector housings and as Doc 777 said it is illegal to do so.

Only legal way is to spend large amounts of money and put full replacement LED light full units in. ( and not cheapies from China)

This is the sort of thing I have no idea of the quality ,you should research further but thats the sort of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
