Pretty sure they do need programming in,for me its the fact they look like they came from factory like that and not some Halfords special.

It does make you wonder why they didn't just use those as standard (or an option) on the DRL equipped Bi-Xenon headlamp cars because they would fit in with the look much better. AFAIK it wasn't even an optional extra, it's just an after sale "accessory".
Dunno, they're just a Philips aftermarket DRL kit with a specially designed grille from SEAT to make them look factory fit, so I would imagine the wiring is as per the aftermarket instructions from Philips., probably just taking an ignition live feed from somewhere in the engine bay.
Much like the other dealer fit accessories such as auto lights and parking sensors that were just aftermarket kits rather than the OE components retrofitted.

You definitely can. I had some for my old 1.2tsi that were built into the fog light surround for the standard fl bumper. They came from Germany, think they may have been called modulite or something.
You removed the headlight plug on one of them and plugged in the aftermarket wiring harness and then into the headlight. Off it came a line for the on off switch, then just a positive on the battery and ground on the frame.

I like the advice of just wiring the power connections directly to the battery terminals. Quality job done there then
lee if you want come have a look at mine , I have another pair at home you can try before you buy if you want , they are the hids direct ones mentioned above , but on our cars they are NOT always error free they are very sensitive to cold and damp
Whats worse case scenario if something goes wrong, will a message just cone up on dash.
They do look alot better like.

Yeah you just get a message saying check drl bulb or whatever. Mine error sometimes when the dipped beam is on. If I put the DRLs back on then the error goes straight away and doesn't come back.
Got some on ours, get the same message, as Jarre says, quick flick of the switch and it goes.
As above lee , tbh in summer time I never get an error but when it gets colder and damper on a morning it happens nearly every day, get bulb light on and a message on the mfd , its annoying but not the end of the world,
