For not giving boring explanations, the real problem is the configuration of wires in harnesses of adaptation 10-14.
As I mentioned in my topic, the polo Bluemotion with halogen headlights uses the same electrical line in the front and rear parking lights (sidelights), however the Polo with factory xenon headlights have two different electrical lines.
Luck is that Bluemotion BCM allows configuring these electrical lines as polo with factory xenon headlights, and these problems (reported in many forums) should go away with proper coding of BCM.
In the coming days (weeks) stay tuned about the tutorial made by iichel.

In this scheme I had in mind that has factory fog lights.

Will this sceme also fix my DRL dimming issue? Now the DRL is dimmed all the time. BCM 87B
I sent the sceme to the guys who did the retrofitting. Hope they will call me to fix the led issue also

...Not going to pay another 100 euro's obviously.

what ciclo is saying that the 087B BCM does not have the connectors for powering the LEDs.
I'm working for HJV on a different solution but I'm not sure that will work.

hope you will have a solution which fits my bcm

iichel, I know what function has the pin T73b/4 (not described in Elsawin

), but I do not know if it is necessary to codify that kind of BCM in a different way in order to do it works, or it already works directly.
Maybe it will expedite the work to HJV and sambir.
I tell you, if you first explains why you using diodes and capacitors in the harness.
On a separate issue, an elf told me that you already have the wiring that ... I sent (i'm sending

)...

The capacitor is to prevent flashing of the lights due to variations in voltage while using for example the power steering.
It goes on the + for the DRL and GND.
The diode is to turn on the tail lights while turning on DRL. It is similar to nodic setting but the licence plate lights will not come on.
There indeed has come in a cable from spain I heard from my girlfriend. But there is no Polo in the garage to work on currently

I hope the ensurance will hurry up so it's done on monday.

T73b/4 = T73b/1 in other BCMs
OUTPUT 58 Maximum 5 amps.
58 Terminal. Switches and instruments illumination regulator (parking lights ON)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the new wiring configuration and new encodings, have you tried the functioning of lights without diodes or capacitors?

Yep I tried the DRL power supply for the LEDs and it still flashes the headlights without the capacitors. But it works without de diodes.
Only thing left to test is the parking lights via bcm (new wires from you, ciclo)
