There have been other FF owners that had the dealer turn it on, but when they wanted it back off... not so successful..

when i purchased my car i initially had the dealer turn on the factory DRLs.. no problems... but... when i found out all my exterior lights were on and the HLs were on full and not 80% reduced as in other makes, i asked the dealer to turn off the factory DRLs.. took 10 minutes w/ no problems at all...

Have you had others with problems turning them off? What were the problems they experienced?

I had read on here someplace where the dealer couldn't figure out how to turn them off

My car was a rental car. Had DRL's on all the time. I work at a dealer and had mine turned off.

I've never seen it on an Audi...

Most Audi's use the LED angel eyes for DRLs now no?

Hi guys

Here is my Focus GDi Sport with Philips DRL's. I just unclipped the front grilles and installed em.

Man I love the Euro headlights. No fugly orange turnsignal, just clear lens with amber bulbs. WHY FORD couldn't you do the same on all of them IDIOTS!.


The new lower Grill lights come with a new grill or just the lights? If it is the entire grill is it painted gloss black? Most of the LED Daytime running lights I've seen on ebay that utilize replacement of the entire triangle grill come only in flat black. My Ti. has black glossy grills that I'd like to match.

if a dealer could not do something as simple as servicing a vehicle they sell i'd go elsewhere for my maintenance.

Yeah i agree. I also swapped out the ugly yellow stock bulbs for Philips Crystal vision white bulbs. Im based in South Africa, but i think the car was made in Thailand
