My old 61 plate SE Tech has a little switch like Nath says, to the right of the steering wheel.

Did all Exeos have DRLs? I don't remember 60 plate SE Lux I had on demo having them. I may be wrong.

It's like a little push button and is marked DRL and has a I and 0 setting.

The SE Tech I had (still have, it's gone to another department) had optional bi xenons but non LED DRLs.

If you have halogen headlight you don't have the DRL as far as I know.


You might want to play with the following settings:
1. In Central Electronics - Coding set this: Halogen Headlights with Daytime Running Lights
2. In Central Electronics - Adaptation play with this setting: Channel 005: Daytime Running Lights Dimming (Low Beam)
3. In Central Electronics - Adaptation play with this setting: Channel 008: Daytime Running Lights

See here: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Seat_Exeo_(3R)_Central_Electronics


Another option is to use the blinkers in the headlights (US Lights option somewhere).
In this case the blinkers will be on continuously.
This is at own responsability as it is probably not legal in the UK too.


.::EDIT::.

Further I think you have to make some changes to the wiring of the car.
The headlight switch has a connector on the back and one of the pins is called TFL which is the German short for DRL.
On the German Seat Exeo website is a guide in PDF format written for an Audi which describe the changes that have to be made: http://www.seatforum.de/forum/showthread.php?t=235461

If you change the brightness of the LEDs you will lower their life! The brightness is pretty good from factory! Lighting homologation is one of my many jobs, trust me the Germans gt it spot on!
