Hey guys,
I posted about this a while back and couldn't find any info on it. I have the full LED headlights. The DRL is a solid white line. The indicator is a solid orange line.
I spent about 3 hours with my Ross-Tech going through but I couldn't figure out where to code it in so I then pulled the headlight plug and ran a voltimeter to the pins
Purple/Green - Constant 9v always
Black/Blue - 10v when hazard indicator is on.
Solid Purple - 10v when hazard indicator is on.
blue/white - 7v when headlight switch is turned to running.
blue/red - 10v when headlight switch is turned to running.
My thinking was the LED strips have two sections so I spliced and tied the wires to be reversed:
Blue/Black -> Blue/White
Purple -> Blue Red
Blue/White -> Blue Black
Blue/Red -> Purple
When reversed the white LED strip lights up when hazards are on, however when the running lights are turned on (The dimmed setting by headlight switch), it only lights up half the orange strip. I thought for a while that there must be another circuit I'm missing so I went back to my voltimeter and retested everything. Then I realized, that the white bulbs are dimmable and are simply dimmed when there's a lower voltage. The orange bulbs do not dimm so on lower voltage only half the strip lights up.
I soldered the wires back to their original position and heat shrink wrapped them so I could do more research on the best method here. Maybe someone with more VCDS experience than me can assist. Open to any suggestions.
Please refrain from posting your opinion about whether you think this is cool or not. I've also confirmed it is legal in my state to run a solid orange indicator up front.
