Drl/coming Home

This link shows a switch that from the broken English seems to suggest will enable DRL and coming home lights on the C5, anyone got any input on this? Is it what it seems or translation errors?

Little bump

The switch shouldn't have any effect on the coming home lights and drls. That would be buried in the comfort module. There is an aftermarket one that looks similar but has a box in line that does it...

I've emailed them. But not holding my breath. I thought maybe there were some relays or bridged pins, etc in the switch that enabled it, but it looks standard to me. Probably poor translation as it is a German company.

Email back from the company and they do seem to be insisting that installing this switch will activate DRL and coming/leaving home lights. But as above they are German so I'm not 100% convinced that there might be some miscommunication.

Any thoughts/speculation as to whether this could be legitimate would be appreciated...

Thanks!!

This is the same item (I think), only this seller is based in london.... Looks interesting!

Out of interest, what drl's have you got?

 

[rhys084]

I don't have DRL's. My understanding from the limited information on this product is it turns the fog lights on when the ignition is on like on Canadian/Australian models, but that's just a guess based on the very sketchy information from the vendor in Germany.
