    Hi All,

    Apologies if this question has already been answered.

    I have a VW Passat CC 2011 (registered April 2011). I was wondering if anyone could tell me how would I know if my vehicle has DRL,

    I have referred to the owner's manual and it says if it is not shown on the screen in the system settings, then it can be turned on by 'right indicator and pulling back the high beam' switch the car on for 5 seconds and the DRL should turn on have tried that on several occasion but doesn't seem to work.

    Does my vehicle even have DRLs? any help will be appreciated

    I think then it's safe to say your does not have them fitted. What model grade is your CC.

    Thanks for your reply. How do I tell what model grade it is?

    Correct me if i am wrong but I thought vehicles registered after Feb 2011 have to have DRLs fitted

    Is it a base model or higher specification.

    I am not sure what should be fitted to your model but when I purchased my 2013 B7 the seller provided me with the Vehicle Data sheets (this was issued to him by the vehicle supply dealer) Its a list of all parts fitted on the production line. Very handy if and when selling a vehicle. My list indicates Separate daytime running lights with low beam assist.

    You could try contacting the dealer who supplied the vehicle when new to ask if they would provide you with the list for your vehicle. All they require is the VIN number.

    As a quick check go to an online bulbs dealer, punch in your reg number and it should list the bulbs for your car. Does it show DRL bulbs.

    Also it would appear from an April 2011 Parts list that DRL were only fitted with the BiXenon option.

    ' As a quick check go to an online bulbs dealer, punch in your reg number and it should list the bulbs for your car. Does it show DRL bulbs.' - Now why didn't I think of that lol - But would the DRL lights be listed separately or would they be fog lamps or something?

    Thanks for your replies.

    When I search for mine it does list DRL's but only LED versions. The DRL factory fitted bulb is a normal 382 (indicator bulb) and is in lower, under bumper, drl/spot/turn lamp assembly.
