How To Turn off DRL on Volkswagen Modes Without VAGCOM

This is an howto in turning on and off the daytime running lights. This was done on a 2010 mk6 golf.
1: ignition off
2: when turning ignition on pull the left stalk towards you and push it down-- drl off
3: when turning ignition on pull the left stalk towards you and push it up.
Hope it helps!

I have VW Golf Mk6 2009 and this worked:
Pull down and back before turning the ignition on,
1. Pull stalk back
2. Pull down
3. Turn ignition on
3. Hear either 2 or 4 beeps
4. Turn ignition off
5. Let go of stalk

It worked on my 2010 VW Jetta S, doing it the way described by :D--the person who commented: "Some cars you need to pull down......" Disabling my DRLs was particularly important for me because I just spent $46 for 2 bulbs which state in small print on the package that they have a life expectancy of only 85 hours. (Discovered only after I had installed the new bulbs). This is amazing because the original equipment bulbs lasted over 10 years and 90,000 miles. With the DRLs effectively burning the bulbs even during daytime driving it wouldn't be long before my new bulbs needed to be replaced again. This UA-cam video will save me a bundle over the next several years. Thanks to xVolt and :D!

Man you're amazing, I just wonder how did you know this way to turn it off 😅

[@delvito96]

I did this today 11/17/17 on my 2010 VW SE Jetta and it worked just like this post. Thanks xVoit!

too easy and helpful, thank you

[@mustafasabla77]

It works you're the man basically you have to follow exactly how he does it when he does it the beeps the Chimes when you first put the key in you hear one beep two beeps let go and you'll see the lights turn off so basically you put the key in ignition and we put it in the auxiliary position as soon as you do that you know how it starts chiming okay as soon as you put the key in start turn the lever to the left turn signal and immediately pull up and hold until you hear the 2 Chimes and let go it worked for me the first time

Some cars you need to pull down and back before turning the ignition on,
1. Pull stalk back
2. Pull down
3. Turn ignition on
3. Hear either 2 or 4 beeps
4. Turn ignition off
5. Let go of stalk
This won’t work on cars 2012 or after only cars before 2012

[@JoeZelensky]

That does not work on a US MK5 Jetta. You need to use VAGCOM, period.

[@comanchefun1612]

Is there a way to do it for a 2006 Jetta? Other than the dumb computer hook up

[@Misho89vn]

Doesn't work on my golf7 2016.

[@1zakis]

[@vendettadz9292]

[@at0ny]

Does it work on a 2009 mk6 with halogen headlights? Row based mk6

[@lampoyo]

Still thumbs up, but didn't work for my U.S. MK5, 2008, Jetta SE, Euroswitch (with no Auto option) dial.

[@K0ALA.]

[@maurodimaio4083]

I have a 2011 jetta and it doesn’t work either

[@Pierre-so7xu]

@@maurodimaio4083 idk if you figured it out already it’s two years later but i did it just now by taking the light switch/euro switch out and bending the the “TFL” switch back, in order to stop the connection. No code came up and everything else still works 100% normal. I have a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 SE, united states version.

[@itsthetwitch1113]

I have an 05.5 jetta 2.5L.
I have tried everything. Cant bend the pin in the headlight switch coz i dont have the same plug. Mine is smaller.
I dont have a 173 relay so cant pull that.
And this trick does not at all.
Getting so annoyed having a unique car when tryna do research on it

[@vannetteterrell7147]

Does not work for my 2012 Tiguan.
I would like a video that shows me how to turn them off. I can't afford to keep replacing car batteries because of day running lights running down the battery.

[@12g940]

Vannette Terrell won't run down your battery at all coz the only work with the engine running
