Hey,
The exact same thing happens with me. My drivers side DRL isnt turning off. Whether I have the car off or on, or whether i have the lights on or off, it will not turn off. I was wondering if you got this fixed and what did you do to fix it. I would like to find an alternative fix than spending $700-$800 on new headlights. please let me know ASAP! they have been on for about a week now and I've tried everything I know how.
Thanks!!

There is an updated CECM because this is a known issue with the MK6. They fail and cause the lights to remain on. Plug in your stock lights and take it to the dealer and it should be under warranty if your car is still covered.

LED power can be controlled with some VCDS if you dont like the brightness. Most people us an HID kit in the lights as the LED's are so intense.
If you prefer not to run HID, i'd suggest turning down the DRL power. I think it can be done in Central Electronics but can't confirm.

Hello,
I purchased a set of these headlights. First impressions were impressive but I have a couple issues. I paired these with the USP 35w HID kit- 4300k color. I have aimed the lights but they seem to not put as much light in front of the car as my old halogens, it is a dimmer light, and they put allot of light on the sides and in front of the car. I know it is not the aim as if you raise the lights the "dimmer" portions will still blind people. The second issue I have is that I attempted to adjust the horsizontal aim, as the sides are so bright and light up the side road I wanted to try and get it more in the middle, both adjustment screws dont move the lights either right or left. The driver side adjustment screw just makes a clicking noise but is very easy to turn and the passenger side clicks but is under resistance. Please help. I also made sure the return wire was pointing down when I installed the lights. Is the USP kit not bright compared to morimoto? Thanks!

Upgraded to Morimoto ballasts and my output improved. Remember not to compare to stock beams - these are E-Code not DOT and have a different pattern.

Thanks! I ordered the morimoto bulbs. Did you just replace the ballasts and not use morimoto bulbs? Are your using the 35w ballast still?

I replaced the ballasts and cables with Morimotos - have the bulbs but kept the ones Ed sent. They heat up faster, brighter and the output seems to be "cleaner".

Does anyone know how to fix the lateral light adjusters? The adjusters just make clicking noises but not movement to the right or left. I don't see anything blocking or binding the movement.
Just installed mine, they do click and move a lot less than the up/down adjustment
