Auto headlight retrofit. VW Transporter. T5 (2010-2015)
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2017 6:51 pm
Hello
I'm hoping I don't get booted of here for posting this as I don't have a Polo, I have a 2013 VW Transporter T5GP.
I know they share electrical systems and I also know that this forum is where the knowledge is about these systems!
I am looking to retrofit auto-headlights and genuine bi-xenons, but I am stuck with the pesky 17pin headlight switch.
I have tried making a loom using instructions from ciclo I found on the internet.
I have changed my BCM for a 090-D as instructed to by ciclo and am now opening a new topic as requested
My problem is, that with the loom in place, everything but the main beam works.
In off position: DRLs work
In sidelight position: Sidelights work + if I pull the switch out to fogs, the foglights work.
Auto position: Nothing (no DRL and nothing when dark outside)
Main beam: Nothing (the light even goes off on the switch)
Full beam: Does not work on any switch setting
Full beam (flash): works on all settings.
The loom I made includes a fog light relay, but my fogs are factory so I'm not sure if it was needed. The fogs work as cornering lights with or without the new loom.
I'm really hoping you can help on this as everyone on the T5 forums just keep telling me to get one of those auto-headlight kits from ebay. I want OEM standard!!
Thanks in advance!
