Help Please!

I have a 2013 mk6 GTI with Xenon DRLs.

I installed an OEM Euro switch and OEM LED tails w/ rear fog.

I followed some DIYs and did the following:

1 Trigger wire from pin 3 to pin 17.
2nd Trigger wire from pin 7 to pin 19.
Pin 28 to pin 47 and taped up the original pin 47.

Central Electrics 9
Byte 18, "20" was stock

"15" & "21" gave a CEL and in theoff position, left DRL and rear fog were on.

"22" no CEL, but my DRLs did not work in position 2 and my tail lights came on. Front and rear fogs came on when switch on.

How do I get my DRLs to come back on in positions 2 & 3? Are the tail lights supposed to come on in position 2?

You have to put "04" in byte 18 in central electronics, I have rear fog light too.

My GTI already came with euro switch and have light sensor. The tail lights only come on in when the xenon are in in position 3 for me, but remember my position 1 is "auto", position 2 is for led DRL and 3 for full lights.

Thanks Chips. I'll change it when I get home. Hopefully it will work for me. I wonder because you have the light sensor if this coding will work for me? I'll follow up.

If you're just added the DRLs that maybe a simple coding. What I did required wiring as well. So I need to recheck the wiring.

OMG it worked!!! Thanks Rosol and Chips. Needed to reconnect pin 47. Here's a quick summary for everyone else:

2013 Mk6 GTI with LED DRLs.
Installing an OEM Euro Switch and OEM LED tails with rear fog.


1 Trigger wire from pin 3 to pin 17.
2nd Trigger wire from pin 7 to pin 19.
Wire from Pin 28(from far left black box) to pin 47(from far fight brown box).
*** Wire from Pin 47 back to Pin 28*** Basically swapping wires.

Central electronics 9, stock was 20, switch to 04.
