Daytime driving lights.

any pics?
Dash light comes on because of the lesser resistance of the LED's. Can be turned off with vag-com in 2 minutes

I'm new to VW so what's this Vag-com thing I keep hearing? Is this some sort of computer configuration system, i.e. BIOS ?

I'll post some pics up today!

nice

Vag-com (or vcds) is basically a computer program to allow somone to make changes in the Polo's computer (like enabling/disabling lightbulb check, and many more things)

Ohh... Is it easy to do or should I just head into a dealership and get them to do it?

buy the cable or visit the dealer...

lights look good, which bulbs did you need from that site?

Didn't actually buy from there I got from for Supercheap and got some more coming off eBay. Just search for T10 globes there's heaps, getting the license plate one done as soon as it comes in mail as well as all interior ones.

I hate the auto lights as having to follow people, I'll be easily recognized as I'll have my lights on when I'm driving!! But other then that, happy that people can notice me on the roads behind them or at intersections as if they weren't on they wouldn't have seen me!!!

You mention "auto lights" I don't know how this works? I've had the car for over a week now and for the life of me can not work out how the light switches work. Not to mention the manual sucks at describing it too

Nice however doesn't it look awkward when you turn on your lights for night driving? (main headlight would be a different colour to the low beam light).

If you can take another photo with your full lights on that would be appreciated as i'm looking for low beam globes

Yeah I need to order them and install them still this was just a test to see if they work. I think the daytime lights aren't these. These LED's are on permanently and can't be turned off the low bean lights however can.

When you order the headlight globes can you place a link on here, as I have found this for the low beam function:

Volkswagen Polo 6R 2009+ Error Free Side Light Bulbs LED | eBay

Weird I couldn't find that on my eBay iphone app. I can't use eBay at work...

If they are correct then they will do fine and wont bring that error in the dash. I'll be getting Phillips Crystal H7 bulbs for headlamp.

Well you can be the guinea pig for the lights, when they arrive and you install them post a photo of them as to help the rest of us polo coolers to make a decision.

Don't stress I was a guinea pig for the Polo ABT centre exhaust/diffuser now my car is a blurt-o-tron.

Wondering whether to get 5000 kelvin Osrams, Diamond Vision 5000 kelvins or the Philips Crystal Vision 4300 kelvins.

Suggestions? wondering if it will go well with the parkers that i had linked just before (in terms of colour match and vision).

Just recently returned from germany......Its pretty much standard for all new cars over there now....the germans aren't happy about it seeing as now they have to replace bulbs more often haha....but least ure staying safe!
