Daytime driving lights.

[PoloDave]

I would go for the Osram Nightbreaker Plus, very polular over here for its white light

[gavs]

I would go the Osrams or if you can find them, the IPF globes. Don't get anything higher than 4500K in colour because even at 4500K you have a severe drop off in penetration, the more yellow the light, the greater the penetration of light, hence why road markings above the snow line are yellow, the yellow penetrates through fog etc so you can see the lines.

Would the nightbreaker plus compliment or go well with Volkswagen Polo 6R 2009+ Error Free Side Light Bulbs LED | eBay

Thats my concern...

Also the polo is H7?

parkers are T10/W5W?

What are the fog lights? bum bum ba! *stunned face*

[PoloDave]

fog lights are H8, let me check the forum over here for pics

[Hail22]

Looking forward to pics

Wanting to do the following:

-Low Beam (Osram Nightbreaker)
-High Beam (Osram Nightbreaker)
-parker/side globe http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Volkswage...item19cefcb361 ?

-Fog light change (Brand-Unkown)

So all the help is welcomed!

making sure that i'm aiming for a white/crystal white.

Wondering if what I have lined up thus far will look OEM/Not over the top

Pics availably are all phone quality so not really usefull.. One of the members has the Phillips Diamond Vision and says they are even whiter than the Osrams and come pretty close to the LED's he has in his parking light

So far, I've counted five different versions of daytime running lights for the 6R Polo.


Daytime running lights in the fog lamp housing:

1. Fog light + optional static cornering light (H8 35W bulb) and DRL (P21W bulb).

1a. Fog light + optional static cornering light (H8 35W bulb) and no DRL.

2. DRL (P21W bulb) with no fog light.


Daytime running lights in the main headlamp housing:

3. Dipped beam DRL (H7 55W bulb).

4. Gas-discharge headlights with integrated DRL (LED modules).


Daytime running lights above the fog lamp housing (VW genuine retrofit):

5. LED-Tagfahrlicht fur den Polo. Part number is 6R0052190.

Ohhhh... How do you get those last LEDs you mentioned?

Doesn't the Polo have H4 globes as well think I read in manual somewhere?

(Shrugs shoulders...) contact the dealer? Google the part number?

Ah yes, forgot about that.
Polos with a single headlight use a twin filament H4 60/55W bulb, those with dual headlights use a pair of H7 55W bulbs.

Don't know if you have the 1.2 TDI over there, but many over here have found out that ECU versions 88A and 88B are extremely sensitive for canbus light errors. Still not a big deal, easy to disable with vcds.

Don't know if VW has put these ECU's in more TDI's though

[Hail22]

Think I may do a full Nightbreaker plus upgrade with the ebay link led side light i linked earlier.

Diamond vision are good, however first are illegal. Second heard a lot of mixed thoughts of performance/brightness of the product.

plus vs price the Osram full set is cheaper than buying only two sets of DV lights (fogs, side, low beam, high beam.)

[Bassik]

The Phillips H7 also come with a pair of the W5W mini globes to, that is why I'm going Phillips plus they are cheaper.

Ah yes, forgot about that.
Polos with a single headlight use a twin filament H4 60/55W bulb, those with dual headlights use a pair of H7 55W bulbs.

How do I know what globes I need? From memory I have a total of 10 globe's including indicator lights just at the front alone.

Indicator lights
Fog lights
Daylight lights (W5W)
Low beam lights ????
High beam lights ????
X2

The daylights also seem to be the low beam lights. I am very confused when it comes to lights on the car. You can't imagine how difficult it's been knowing what lights are on and off at all times of the day...???

One question, there is no auto setting on these Polo's is that correct? I was told from a friend (Golf owner) there is an auto setting and he just leaves it on that all the time. This isn't the case with us Polo owners???

[Diesel_vert]

Depending on the model, it's either one H4 bulb (low + high beam) or two H7 bulbs (one for low beam, one for high beam) per side.

The W5W bulb is for the side/park lights. If they come on together with the low beam, then they are used as DRL as well.

The auto function is present only if your car is fitted with a light sensor.

[Hail22]

Side light illuminates with low beam, there is a VCDs code in order to have it auto as soon as the car is on. However I cannot find the code as of yet.

So really...i'm getting confused.

One Dealer says get philips Diamond Vision x 4 (two for low beam, two for high beam) with the LED parker I have found.

Then another says with the LEDs I want to buy to go for this eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

So confusing...

That reminds me I wanted to add a signature to my posts. I have the GTi so what lights do I have. The 2 low and high beam of each?

So that means I need 2 x H7 then correct?
