Test:
32...80
33...50 (40-60)
34...20

(test only :lol:)
Thanks ciclo :)

A large part of my weekend drive through the winding hill roads was done in the night. The cornering lamps were turning on and lighting up the bends even when I was taking the corners at a little higher speed (I have the speed threshold set at 55kph). I must say this is one very useful and brilliant adaptation :D

I have to now make a list of settings and tests to do so that I don't miss any! Still waiting for some free time to go and get the windshield, sensor and the mirror replaced.

Beautiful pictures of polo gt graaja! couldn't be any better than in the backdrop of Nilgiri hills. Thank you very much for inviting, we'll meet soon. Sorry I cannot PM you my contact details, as I am not yet permitted to do so. Can you PM me?

I need some help, graaja and experts please guide me. I am trying to complete the installation of dimmer switch " 6Q0 941 333 C" on my Polo gt. This switch has controls for both headlight beam height adjustment as well as instrument cluster brightness control. Indian polo's comes with only headlight beam height adjustment switch. I have connected the new switch and hooked up a wire on pin 3 slot of female connector of this switch, which controls cluster brightness. Now I know that I have to connect this pin3 wire into a factory twist (6 violet/white color wires twisted) which is there behind the bonnet releasing handle. I don't know which wires of this twist to be isolated and to which wires I have to connect my new wire. I feel confused and lost. Am I doing it right way? Please help me out. Thanks

Hello patil, welcome.

VCDS autoscan?

Take a picture from the T6 Dimmer connector, I need to see the wires.
Take a picture from your fuse box.

The new wire should be connected from the output of fuse 7 (SB7b) to slot 3 dimmer connector. Only if you do not have a BCM Max installed (Coming Home,etc...).

6Q0941333C (POLO 9N3) = 6R0941133 (POLO 6R)

Hi dear friend Ciclo, Namaste!(greetings) from India :D

Thank you very much for having your attention on my query. I will definitely provide the details you have asked. I am still a novice, learning forum rules and trying to figure out how to post VCDS autoscan details and how to post pictures :mrgreen:

By the way my BCM is stock 6RU 937 087. I have installed Chinese Autoheadlight switch with sensor which comes with CH/LH features by default. Please give me 2 days time, I will get back with all the details. Thanks

Namaste! :D
Don't worry, we all started in the same way when we are new in any forum.

To upload images must be from an images hosting server (there are many, search with your browser), or from the services provided by your email provider. Copy and paste the link here after you upload the image or file.

Autoscan can be posted here in this way--> Click on Code when editing.
Examples:
code]lol[code

Code: Select all

  lol 
or, code]paste Autoscan[code
It must be

Code: Select all

[/color][/b] both places. 

The installation you want to do is pretty simple. I do not know another more effective way to do it than I explained earlier. Perhaps it is better to open a new topic in the forum (6R/6C), it can be interesting for others. :wink:

Hi graaja,

Could you please share more details about the location in firewall from where you routed wire for DRL. Is this on the driver side of firewall?

Regards.

Yes. This is on the driver side. Look for that keyhole shaped rubber piece that plugs the firewall. Remove the piece and make a small hole using a knife and route the wire through the hole. The wire will come inside the cabin just above the dead pedal.

That hole is free only with automatic transmission. With manual transmission there is clutch pedal with clutch cylinder. And to route the wire you should find another hole.

Made a couple of videos on the BiXenons.

This video shows some of the cool features that come with the BCM Max upgrade.



This video shows the light output.



Edit: Thanks to ciclo for helping with the youtube tags.

Outstanding output with clean cutoff. Nice and cool add on features. I must say, with the kind of money spent.. you will get what you pay for :mrgreen:

Don't you think the cutoff is bit high in low beam for on coming traffic? What is the color temperature?
