MK5 GTI Headlight question

[GTIMachine]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows how i can turn on my inner headlights. The outter HID bulbs come on as running lights and high beams but the two bulbs that are closest to the middle, never come on.

Its like there is no use for them?

Thanks,
GTI-M

those are the flash to pass lights and i could be completely wrong but i think in order to get those lights to come on you need to buy a euro switch and program it

Thanks Dave. I have been reading more and more and it seems like thats the case. Ill look into buying a Euro headlight switch- ECS has some I see on their website.

Thanks again!

Inner lights are the high beams/flash to pass (correct)

push the stalk for high beams (shutter opens) - Pull the stalk for flash to pass (inner bulbs) --- i might have this backwards haha i'll have to look again when i get in the car.

FTP on the inner bulbs only works with the headlight switch off. Euro or non euro. I have a euro switch in my GTI and that did not change the function of these lights. Lights on pull back or push forward stalk flaps go up and down. Headlight switch off push forward nothing pull back FTP and inner lights will come on.


There was something on here to change a setting to make them come on with the high beams when the headlights are switched on. I tried this with zero success so far. I would really like this feature so when i try to FTP people at night they can really get the darn point! It seems they ignore the HIDs.

You need a VAG and program it to the Great Britain setting. Then your FTP lights will come on with your high beams and you can also have your fogs on has well. You will enjoy it.
