Not for me but trying to help a friend , his T5.1 2012 has DLRs installed and wired but they don't work . Anyone have some ideas where there maybe a relay as I have tried all the fuses even ran my launch diagnostics but could not find any way of activating them , it did show the left and right one but when I try and activate them I get no response .

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

by DRL installed and wired you mean what exactly?
DRL on the T5.1 is incorporated in the headlight as standard, and should not be installed separately.Current: 2023 MY23 T-Roc R Lapiz Blue + Beats Audio + Black pack 2018 MY19 Golf R manual Lapiz Blue + DAP) 2018 MY18 Golf 110TSI (150TSI) Trendline manual White2014 Amarok TSI Red (tuned over 200kw + lots of extras) 2013 Up! manual Red 2017 Polo GTI manual Black Previous VWs and some others ...

The bulbs on mine used to blow all the time on mine until I got some cheap LEDs ex China.
As soon as one would blow, the other would follow not long after.2018 Crafter Runner

The originals weren't blown just did not work . I see two sets of fuses so need to dig a bit deeper , I suppose I could bypass the vans system and use a relay to power them up and use 12v signal from the fuse box when ignition is on .Originally posted by LogicprObe View PostComment

Are you 100% certain that the globes are OK? Have you pulled them out and checked them on a battery? The originals have a lifespan of 15 minutes.Comment

Can you post up a photo of the entire headlight? Is the single bulb (H4) or dual bulb version (H7 + H15)?
Also, has it worked before? Or did he buy the car with it not working? Some people do turn DRL off with VCDS coding, could that have been done previously?
In my Amarok (similar design) the H15 bulb (could be the H7 need to check) doubles as the DRL .... so as per syncro's question do all the bulbs work (low beam and high beam)?Current: 2023 MY23 T-Roc R Lapiz Blue + Beats Audio + Black pack 2018 MY19 Golf R manual Lapiz Blue + DAP) 2018 MY18 Golf 110TSI (150TSI) Trendline manual White2014 Amarok TSI Red (tuned over 200kw + lots of extras) 2013 Up! manual Red 2017 Polo GTI manual Black Previous VWs and some others ...

Mine is the same van............although the basic model.
Even with VCDS you don't get any info beyond not working.
Although, I think you can code them on and off.
I haven't looked at this problem for at least 5 years so I can't remember.
I'm sure I saw the coding on the Rosstech forums back then when I was constantly replacing bulbs.
edit - I've used Crafters for over 6 years so it's longer than that!
