I've got adaptive xenon headlights can you get an LED DRL set for the B7 that are still adaptive?

The DRL is just a bulb nothing adaptive about it only the Xenon main light unit is adaptive, but yes you can get LED DRL's to fit the headlights.

You need the cancellers and the LED holder - a Trups Kit - so the LED's don't throw an error. Give the car a complete LED makeover whilst you are at it - won't regret it.

Try these as DRL's (with Trup's cancellers of course): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231006823370? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Good luck!

That's side lights right? DRL have a different load hence the cancellers?

I was just adding what I use for side lights to complement the DRL '05 and xenons.

I thought the OP meant an adaptive LED DRL headlight like you get on a B8, not an LED DRL bulb. If so then the last time I looked (which was probably a year or 2 ago) I couldn't find any LED sidelight / DRL to replace an OEM xenon headlamp be it adaptive or non adaptive. I could only find them for as replacements for halogen headlights. They might be available now though.

I'm not sure now either Mike...

Well, we've covered both options now so he probably meant something completely different.

Just had a quick look and all the replacement LED headlights I saw state that they are not compatible with cars with factory fitted xenons.
