I'm working on getting it up now.Now you're going to cut a small piece of electrical tape, relative to the width of the TFL pin we've identified. Take the piece of tape you've cut and cover the TFL pin, so there is no exposed metal showing that might make contact with the harness plug (pictured below). Some modders choose to bend-down this pin (achieving same result), but we do not recommend this. Using this method, you can re-enable the DRL's by simply removing the tape.

I would try and persuade you to leave the daytime running light function alive and well. It really does help other drivers see you quicker. It does not cause the bulbs to wear out faster or any other problems.. It is in your car as a safety device that really does help your car to be more visable in all driving conditions...It's the law in many other countries....

I have an 05 Beetle that was made in Mexico. I tried to do the mod where one puts plastic in the TFL slot in the headlight switch connector. The TFL slot had no wire/connector in it. I saw somewhere someone else had a beetle made in Mexico. That person couldn’t use the TFL slot either and had used the B slot instead. I put the plastic in the B slot today and then tested all positions of the headlight switch. It looks like that did the trick. All lights off with the switch in the off position. All other positions work as expected.Just wanted to say great site and I'm new to the new VW scene. Is there any way to disable the daytime running lights on the 2001 1.8t beetle?![]()
