You will have to use rosstech vagcom to reprogram the vehicle. Drls cannot be altered without it.

Yes in order to disable the daytime running lights it has to be done with a VagCom. Once this is done then you will have full control over your exterior lighting with this switch. And yes it is plug and play. No wiring needed. This switch is put in all European cars standard but because of US DOT laws we get a cheap switch but our cars are already wired to take the euro switch. You just need to change some coding with a VagCom and you'll be good to go.

I may not be the best person to ask: It was plug-and-play for me with simple 2-minute installation, but ultimately it was not the switch I needed for the result I wanted, so I returned it.

I wondered the same thing. Instructions are LAME and then some. The key is connect the Green wire to backup lights positive which has no power until you put vehicle into reverse. Green wire is the control. When you shift into reverse, power is sent to green wire to monitor and it turns on. When not in reverse, monitor is just OFF, no blue screen, just off. Also make sure camera ground back there is to the body metal ground and nothing else if you have a newer vehicles like 2012 sprinter van, computer did not like camera ground to license plate light wire neg, would disable camera somehow.

I was going to put it in but held off when I made a trip to bowling Green. I've too have heard about cruise not working but will find out shortly when I put it in and experiment. It would be a lot cleaner on wire leading to turn signals not having resistors for my switchbacks. I have been selling led lights to several forums and locally to many people for about 3 years. I am one of maybe 2 in the US to carry the new Cree/driver headlights and can't keep them in stock they sell so fast. I am DFWWIZ on TBSSowners and GMTNation forums.

Mine too - the switch on the shifter only seems to have two contact points - Park and Reverse. I tested this switch with an Ohm meter when I installed the shifter and then again a few weeks ago, thinking I missed something on the first go around. All I have been able to determine is that Park allows the ignition circuit to engage and reverse operates the back up lights. Honestly, I am not real thrilled with my Sports Shifter for this and a few other quality issues (like reverse doesn't freely engage - almost have to ratchet into reverse, Can get "Park" to line up with the indicator but then each gear down is misaligned). Sorry wasn't more help

No, it is truly just plug and play. Make sure you test the connections prior to completely installing the headlight. If the connections are plugged in backwards (hard to tell) then they won't work. Simply flip the plug around and all will be good. it won't hurt anything if its plugged in backwards...they just won't work. Hope all goes well, good luck!

They just pop right in if u don't have Fog Light then u ground the black wire to a bolt and the other red one to accessorie fuse #3 or#4! But if u have fog lights u just pop the old ones out and put these in put if u got the rs package u can't use these! But they have other kinds that r really nice if u already got Fog Lights! I had a pair last year hit a deer they was more of a white/blueish color these r pure white if u want the white with the blue get them from jdmitoy! They will have a blue and a green wire the r about 7000k these r 6000k! Write back and let me know bc u really don't get very good instructions! !

This was a failed project for me, one of my 2 controllers died, There were times one of 2 lights worked. I might have my controller on one side of my 220 line and the sockets on the other side. What I can tell you is that manually turning the lights on with the switch in the garage, they don't come on. I think "Francois" has answered the question for us. If I saw his thoughtful answer before I started to respond, I might not have replied. Thank you Francois.

There will be a new combination switch that will add the fog light switch to it. There will also be directions in the box to install the lights, I know the vehicle should be in the air to install them it makes it easier.

Here is the answer you are actually looking for: Yes it does DRL mode by default, it uses the full on lights, if you don't want them on full all the time there is a wire inside that you cut and it will disable the DRL function and only power the lights on when it is dark.

No, they do not come with a switch and wiring. If you have never had fog lights, you will most likely have to get a switch and wiring.

Not really sure why it did that, it sounds like one of your wires might be crossed and it is blowing your headlight. I had an electrical buddy install mine and the switch is working fine. I wish I knew more about wiring to help you but all I can say is trace your wires and double check them to see if they are going where they need to. Good luck

It has a dimmer wire. From what I read online that's what it's supposed to be for. But when I hooked it into a buddy of mines car, turning the lights on made no difference. I'm not sure if it was because of the car, if maybe that isn't what it's for or because it simply doesn't work.

I dont have a clue. You may want to check the forums for the differences between GTI vs GLI and compatibilities. It's worked like a charm for me, I just need to VAGCOM so I can change my lighting preferences.

Your car is pre wired. All u do is remove the bumper and plug the lights in. Take it to dodge so they can program the lights to turn on and your all set

Did your fog lights function as normal DRL before you plugged the adapter in?

You can choose how you want to have it done (if you're going to an Auto Electric shop). What I did was when I turn on My head lights (at night) these will come on. If I don't turn on the headlights (by switching them on manually) these LED lights will stay off. You can also have them turn on when your DRLs turn on (instead of your headlights). If your car is older, you may not know what DRL (aka parking lights) is and you don't need to worry about it.

I wired the lights into my existing high low beam switch . I tapped into the high beam at the connector at the headlight. So the lights go on and off with my high beam. You could add a seperate switch , but they did not come with one . An inline fuse holder is included .
