Ed's OEM-style HID replicas with 2013 JSW results

So, I've read a LOT on the forums lately. Both prior to buying the headlights from Ed and after I got them.

What I read was, 'all you have to do is install and turn off DRLs.' For my car, this did not work at all. I tried a lot of settings within the usual Golf and GTI NAR settings with limited success. I finally sat down and went though the list of possible byte 18 codes exhaustively so others can know how these behave on a 2013 JSW (CECM 5K0 937 084 J - lowline/baseline).

Below is a list of the byte 18 hex code and how it behaved on my JSW, check the 'byte18.pdf' for a description of what car the code belongs to:

02 - rear fog light bulb out error
03 - either parking lights or front side lights bulb out errors depending on DRL settings.
04 - left reverse light on constantly, no bulb out errors (possibly due to different wiring for GTI)
15 - rear fog light bulb out error
1E - back turn signals on w/ headlights but dimmer than when signaling
1F - either parking lights or front side lights bulb out errors depending on DRL settings.
20 - right reverse light on constantly, no bulb out errors
21 - right reverse light on constantly, no bulb out errors
22 - no bulb out errors, only right reverse light works when in reverse. Ed's LEDs on when lights are on, did not test if they operate as DRLs.
3F - either parking lights or front side lights bulb out errors depending on DRL settings.
40 - rear fog light bulb out error
41 - rear fog light bulb out error, left reverse light on
42 - rear fog light bulb out error
43 - rear fog light bulb out error
44 - left reverse light always on, no bulb out errors
45 - no bulb out errors, LEDs as DRLs but cannot configure to be on w/ lights.

I'm trying to decide between 22 and 45, these were the only two that worked the most with no errors. Other codes were more configurable but always had a bulb out or reverse light on.


Autoscan *after* installed Ed's lights but *prior* to messing with VCDS codes.
