I just fitted the DRL kit from Seat on my FR 170

Fitting went no probs, and the kit powers
up (blue led). But the Led strips don't light.

Anyone any ideas? Thought I might need the tick
Box to enable it one the dash but I don't have the
Option. Thinking I need someone with VAGcom
But as the kit has no tie in to the ecu I can't see
This needed. :wtf:

This is the OEM seat/philips kit.

Turns out all the needed to do
Was NOT connect the cable to
The sidelights as instructed.

Disconnected and Bingo, on they Come.

I was impressed with t kit, because
Its manufactured by Philips themselves.

It's heading off the extras list so grab
One soon.

The guy I got mine from has a couple
Of ibiza kits left. The hardware is the same
I am sure.

The electronic parts will work but the
Kit is made with an angled mount for the led
That clips into a hole cut into the diamond
Grill on the fr/cupra r

I've been looking for LED strip DRLs for ages... I'm currently getting a quote for some custom ones. But have a feeling I won't like the price. I'm tempted by this kit, but don't think I'll be able to fit it. If the lights just clip to the grill, I can do that... but where does the wiring go? And what does it connect to / power off?

I routed the wires behind the front grill and then up behind the battery
As there is a gap.

I had to feed a wire down the hole then pull it through but dead
Easy.

Scary bit was really cutting the grill using the template but they do
Look really good now fitted and work well.
