2 Answers
Golf 7 daytime running lights cannot be turned off. Daytime running lights refer to the lights installed at the front of the vehicle, making it easier for the vehicle to be recognized during daytime driving. Here is more information about the Golf 7 daytime running lights: 1. The function of Golf 7 daytime running lights is not to help the driver see the road clearly but to let others know that a car is approaching. 2. Therefore, these lights are not for illumination but serve as signal lights. Adding daytime running lights can make the car look cooler and more stylish, but their primary purpose is not aesthetics but to enhance the vehicle's visibility.
My neighbor asked me this question just the other day. His Golf 7 is the base model with halogen lights. The daytime running lights (DRLs) are on by default as soon as the vehicle starts. To turn them off, it's actually quite simple: first start the engine, then press the button on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the instrument cluster menu. Navigate to the 'Lights' option under 'Settings', find the 'Daytime Running Lights' section, and simply select 'Off'. However, it's worth noting that some countries legally require DRLs to be on during daytime. If you turn them off, remember to manually switch on the headlights at night, otherwise you might get penalty points if caught on camera. It's also advisable to keep them on during rainy or foggy conditions, as they help other drivers notice your vehicle earlier.
