What is the DRL light on a Volkswagen Passat?

Daytime running lights (green): The letters DRL on your dashboard indicate that the daytime running lights are on. This is a standard safety feature used to make your vehicle more visible to other motorists and pedestrians.

How do you turn off DRL on a VW?

To turn off daytime running lights (DRLs) on a Volkswagen, while your car is on and in park, simply activate your emergency/parking brake. That’s all there is to it! Again, this trick will only work when your vehicle is stationary. Hope this helps!

How do you fix DRL?

If One DRL Is Working, Check the Bulb, Socket, and Switch If only one daytime running light is not working, it most likely has a burnt out bulb or a bad switch. Remove the socket from the light and see if the bulb is dark or if the filament is burned out, which means it needs to be replaced.

Can I add DRL to my car?

Introduction: LED Daytime Running Lights Installation Daytime Running Lights, also known as DRL, are devices in front of a vehicle that switch on whenever a vehicle is moving forward. These LED lights are universal fit so they can fit any vehicle.

Why is one of my DRL not working?

If only one daytime running light is not working, it most likely has a burnt out bulb or a bad switch. Since DRL can run for a long time, see if the socket burned or melted, and replace it if so. Check the contact point of the bulb for melting.

Are DRL part of MOT?

No, the car will not fail the MoT. Daytime running lamps are only inspected on cars first used on or after 1 March 2018.

Does DRL need relay?

The light cables need to be run to a relay which in turn needs to be connected to both a headlight connection and a fused 12V supply. A final connection is from the ignition supply to the relay. All that ensures the DRLs will operate whenever the ignition is turned on but not when the headlights are being used.
