I hate the GTI DRL's too - that's why i wanted the non-DRL version of these headlights which are essentially the Golf R headlights. The Golf R's do have a DRL but its a separate strip lower down in the bumper bar (not part of the headlights).
Oh yeah its where the fogs are located... I am usually not a fan of drls, specially if its halogen

The headlights are bi-xenon, same as the factory setup - which means both low beam and high beam are in the single projector and within the projector there is a shutter than opens to allow more light to come out when hi beam is engaged.
As for levelling, you have a dial in the cabin which allows the light level to be adjusted up/down, and then the headlights themselves have a manual adjustment on them so you can get them aimed correctly.
Finally got a set of bixenons for my GTI, im trying to find somewhere that can carry out the installation for me in the Sydney area.... Does anyone know where i can take my car?
first things first, make sure you have the rest of the parts to ensure that the bixenons can work. such as uprated cecm with high beam shutter pins, leveler sensor, harnesses, etc etc.
this link should give more insights into what is actually involved (assuming the bixenons are genuine ones):

This is the coding i followed and worked on my car.....only issue is that i cant remember which of the following options was the one that worked.

Ok so today ICEWOLF had a go at trying to get the LED's running. We tried everything without much luck at all. We changed Byte 18 from 04 to 3B to confirm that all "lights" were working, but this gave the bulb out warning, and also meant that the brake lights stayed on. but yes the LED's/DRLs do work.
We followed all the links;
Product Review - Chinese Replica MK6 Golf HID Headlamps for halogen cars
VW Golf Mk6 Bixenon Upgrade - Album on Imgur
But could not get them on on any setting be it auto/parkers/manual.
On the way home I noticed some "lights" were on when I was stopped behind another car... I've pulled over to have a look. Great their on!!!! YAY a win... I think

Now here's the thing. This was on Auto lights, once I turned over to parkers and the manual lights - the "DRLs/parkers" were off. these are really faint compared to when we had them on under byte 14 3B. But also the headlights are on so its not really run lights.
Does anyone have any ideas?
