Signature LED Brightness - EpicEvo - 28-01-2013 11:35pm
Hey guys, got my Evoque today and noticed that with the lights off the LED's are bright and really do look the part! But if you select side lights they stay of but are half as bright!!! What's the deal with this?! Is there a way to keep that brightness with the side lights on so I have rear lights on as well...
I remember seeing a post about having the lights set to a different country's set up like Switzerland or something but I don't know if that's really the answer...

As there are called Daylight Running Lights they need to be bright in daylight. when you put your main lights on the system will assume that it is dark or darker and therefore the DRL's would dazzle other drivers. Main lights are designed not to dazzle.
Also when you indicate the corresponding DRL dims to make the indicator more visible

My corresponding DRL actually goes off entirely when using the indicator... Maybe a MY2013 thing, or possibly a market restriction.

Does it actually go right off? As the dim is very significant, get someone to sit in the car whilst you watch

USA and Canada the DRL goes off. UK they dim. Same for Audi as well

Well there you go, what an odd difference in spec!
