A bit quick and dirty but you get the idea................. click to enlarge. I would take photos of all the combos but i can't seem to find a mode on my camera that's suitable.

To be able to do that, the headlight units better not be like they are on the Passat - unreachable unless you take 90% (some exaggeration may occur) of the car apart!
I'm hoping I can get to the DRLs too and fit something like the Philips X-Treme or similar that give a whiter light.

The (Xenon) DRL bulbs look like a rear brake light bulb, not sure what type that is but I want to change them to a brighter one.

This pic of mine shows the DRL's

According to the manual the Xenon DRL bulb is a P21W - so as you suspect it is the same as the rear light bulbs (tail, stop and fog all use this bulb). I think you can get a higher output version - try googling for it.
