have a question,is there any way on a VW GTI 2013 that I can reprogram my lights using a vagcom cable to get my taillights to work with my running lights>I have really cool LED taillights and I wanna be able to run them when I have my running lights on.
Welcome.
Get a Euro Switch, which gives you an extra setting. The first setting turns off your DRL's and turns on all the running lights, including the tail lights. It also lets you run your fogs without having to turn on your headlights. Second setting turns on the headlights. No VAG-COM needed. You just have to run a trigger wire. ECS tuning has a nice DIY, as does Vortex. Good luck!

Great information!!!!
thanx for responding why is everyone talking bout vag com and you hav ing to use it in order to make your lights work properly,i don't have one so I wold prefer not to drive all over texas looking for one.
So if I wanna run my DRLs with my running lights including taillights what setting is that.The first setting sounds good but I don't wanna turn off my drls I want them to stay on with my running lights( taillights) like they do with the stock switch in headlight mode after you turn off car.
Where does the trigger wire go to and from where just curious.Thank you dave
Not sure you can run your running lights AND your DRL's, sorry. But you can run your running lights and your fog lights. In fact, some people vag-com their fogs to be their DRL's.
Check the DIY I referenced above to see where the trigger wire goes. It's easily understood from pictures, not so much from words.

Hi thanx for that info,i did what u said got the switch installed it and will do trigger wire next week,but on first setting u mentioned my drls,and tailights come on bilut so do my headlights will that trigger wire turn off headlights from that setting.
Also i have LEDS on my headlight which i assume are my drls in that first seting they are on usaid they would turn off,in fact ny drls are on in every setting on that switch.
Look all i want is just 1 setting on that switch where i have just my drls fogsand tailights on no headlights.
Also decided to get the light sensor kit for my headlight.Now if what they say is true in theory in the auto position during daytine n dusk hours all my lights should b on with the exception of my headlights is thst correct.
Without the trigger wire properly installed, the first and second position on the Euro switch will be identical. The trigger wire allows the switch to turn on just the running lights without the headlights. I said, once the trigger wire is properly installed, that the first position will turn on your running lights and turn off your DRLs. I can't specifically speak to LED DRL's as my car doesn't have them. Please reread my previous posts to get a clearer understanding of what I told you. Good luck.
