I just bought a Euro Headlight switch from ECS, it doesn't turn off the day time running lights, they come on when I release the e-brake just like the oem switch allows..
View 7 RepliesI need Vag-Com to reset a failed lamp warning light . . . I'm assuming because I ended up pulling the switch out too far, which commands the rear fog light to come on, which doesn't exist, I caused the "lamp failure" warning light and chime to come on and NOT GO OFF (I installed my new Euro headlight switch last night).
I checked and have no dead lamps. I put the old switch back in for a bit but it's still reporting a failed lamp. I searched for this problem before posting but the search engine on this site is extremely poor ... .Couldn't find anything in the manual either. It assumes we're idiots because it says a certified mechanic should change the lamps but oh, carry extras with you !!??
which number pins on the back of the euro switch are for front and rear fogs????
what is the easiest way with out drilling to run 1 small wire from the back of my euro switch thru the firewall and into my engine bay?? or if drilling is necessary where is the easiest and safest place to drill?
Will the Mk5 Euro switch work on the Mk6 Golf?
View 9 RepliesHow do we activate the rear fog on the Tiguan? I have been playing with the coding but have as of yet found a way to activate it. I am assuming that it will be one of the lights on the hatch that is supposed to be the rear fog...but can not find or get any info.
I have the parking lights active already...now I want my rear fog active as well. I don't care about the dash icon...but I do want the light to actually work. I have done this on all of my previous cars (run the wiring etc) but this Tiguan seems to be eluding me! [IMG] [URL] ....
Just installed my Euro switch from USP Motorsports, When I have the DRL's on with fogs whichever side the flasher is activated on dims the L.E.D DRL instead of shutting it off or keeping it at full power. Is this normal?
View 3 RepliesI have led bulbs in the stock tray Because I can't find red bulbs to fit these tails. Can't put white bulbs because my brake lights will be white and NYPD will be on my case
1.w euro switch turned off one bar in 3rd brake light on and top two bulbs on but dim
2. When car is turned off switch off top bulbs stay on but dim but they turn off after a few minutes
3. Replaced both license plate bulbs and only the left side bulb will illuminate but if I turn the euro switch from on to off quickly the right bulb will Flicker as if it had a quick jolt of power to it.
4.turn signals are led ambers they blink way faster than stock is this normal?
Having a few electrical issues lately, that are really starting to irritate me. This is pretty random. OCCASIONALLY, not all the time. When I turn my euro switch all the way to the right, my windshield wipers will go across the windshield twice. Obviously the wipers aren't on. And I don't accidentally hit the stalk. This just random and annoying when it smears stuff across the windshield. I don't even know where to start.
View 2 RepliesI have been having an issue with my interior lights, namely all the dash lights (cluster, climate, stereo, etc)
I have to keep switching the euro switch back and forth until it finally switches on the interior lights. The headlights still work but not the fogs, unless the interior lights go on.
What this could be? Perhaps an electric problem? Faulty euro switch?
How do you remove the headlight switch on a 2008 Passat B6? i tried pushing it in and turning it right, but i still cant pull the switch out. Am I doing something wrong, or does it not come out on this model?
View 6 Replies...while I didn't get the light sensor installed (since I actually use my cuppyhole to store my grarage door opener & EZ-Pass transponder0...
kept the Auto switch in...
with the DRL's activated (they are in the fog light position):
Off: DRLs
Auto: full lighting on
Parking: DRLs (plus I can use rear fog)
Low beam: full lighting (plus front & rear fogs)
and since activating the coming home and leaving home... the coming home works on "auto" position.
My passenger side headlight(low beam) isn't turning on. Replaced the bulb. The light flickers and dies out.
View 1 Replieshave a 2013 Passat SE and just installed the Audi style headlights that I won on Ebay. But having some problems with them. Turning signals don't work, One of the low beams(HID) burnt out 20 min into driving, and the LED's do not turn on as the DRLS or with the low beams, I have to switch to brights to get them to come on. The DRL is the halogen highbeam...I do not have any VAG COM experience nor do I own a scanner...what should I do?
View 6 RepliesI'd like to turn off my drl's.....getting new front bulbs and going to install some led's to use as drl's. Up to now, I've only read about using VAG-COM to turn off. I just came across a YouTube demo about turning off drl's by pulling out switch on dash, disconnecting switch from connector and bending down a prong inside the connector. Sounds and looks simple. I haven't seen this method written up on Vortex before....
View 3 RepliesMy fog lights were working on second then all of a sudden both of them stopped working. And the switch on the inside isn't turning green when you pull out to turn them on. What the deal with that and how I can fix it. I just switched the bulbs today but they were working but just stopped.
View 3 RepliesMy friend got me a euro plate for my birthday( he could of just given me his 911s ha)
i just need to know what I need to mount it.
Just installed a euro wood/leather wheel in my wife's 03 Passat wagon. It had the MFD wheel previously.I've done the install numerous times as far as going from MFD wheels to GTI or R32 wheels and never had this problem.
Ran a jumper from pin 9 to 18 and modified the plug to the clockspring....I got the cruise working no problem and that's the toughest... I've double checked everything and think it has to be with the wheel itself. I see the wheel has TWO tabs for the horn ground. I'm only using one right now as that's how my R wheel is in my 03 Jetta (just pulled the bad and checked it). What could be causing the horn not to work?
I need o pull the headlight switch on my T-Reg. Pushed in and turned to the left and pulled but it won't come out. Is this the correct method?
View 1 RepliesSo my headlight switch is literally On/Off. I disabled the DRL by folding down the pin inside. But I am replacing my headlights with a custom projector housing with HID lows, halogen highs, LED Fogs, and CCFL halos, so I'd like the ability to turn on just parking lights or just the fog lights to show off the Halos etc. If I pick up a Bora Switch that has these features, will I have to re-wire/run through fuse box, etc.
View 7 RepliesOn my 09 Camry LE most of the time at least once or twice when driving at night with the headlights in AUTO mode if you go to hit the turn signals to switch lanes or make a turn the switch will change to either the off position or on position. This is especially annoying as if you do not realize the headlights are on you can park and leave them on draining your battery.
I have driven plenty (hundreds) of Gen 6 Camry's and have never experienced this. My Corolla switch has never so much as hinted at moving although it only stays in the off position since DRL are always active but anyway. If I am going to replace the switch might as well opt for the XLE/SE switch for my fog upgrade.
I've started retrofitting foglights into my mother's 2012 Tiguan (S 4motion). All of the parts were dealer ordered, but twice now they've sent me the wrong switch. The mounting/locking mechanism is the wrong size (too large on the new switches). In addition, the second switch had an "auto" selection.
The original part number was 3C8941431F C1F-T shown on the left here:
The two part numbers they have shipped so far are:
3C8-941-431-G-XSH and 3C8-941-431-E-XSH
I need a standard headlight switch, no auto, with fog (front only is fine).
