Running fog lights as dlrs

[DV52]

Hi don thanks for your info. I coded the vcds with the information you provided and the fog lights come on with the dlrs in the light cluster! is there any way of removing the dlrs from the light-cluster? and only running fogs as dlrs? thanks. Paul.

Paul: well done for getting the DRL function to work on your fog-lights!

Disabling the DRL function from the "light-cluster" shouldn't be difficult - but it's a tad problematic for me to be precise because I'm less familiar with the UK MK7 GTI pp (which I believe is 3 x door car). But it shouldn't be too hard if you are prepared to experiment.

I'm guessing from reading THIS that the "light cluster" is what is euphemistically called twin "angel-eyes". If I'm correct, there are 2 x pairs of Leuchte-sets (i.e. 4 x Leuchte-sets in total) that control DRLs in your BCM (the module @ address hex09). These Leuchte-sets are:

• Leuchte4TFL LB4
  
• Leuchte5 TFL RB32

and

• Leuchte2SL VLB10
  
• Leuchte3SL VRB21

Again, if I have guessed correctly, on each of the 4 x Leuchte-sets above the Lichtfunktion A channel should be factory programmed to the setting Daytime running lights. Please confirm that this is so on your car.

If the Lichtfunktion A channel has the DRL command, then try changing Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert AB 2 and Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert AB 3 from 100 to 0. If these changes are not successful in disabling the DRL function from the angel-eyes, revert these changes back and change Leuchte4TFL LB4-Dimmwert AB 4 and Leuchte5 TFL RB32-Dimmwert AB 5 from 100 to 0.

Hi don thanks again for your great help hope to tryi this out next week sometime will feed back the information. Once we have a play? maybe send you a picture if possible! thanks again Paul.

Daylight running lights

Hi Don just to give you some feedback I have coded the other codes to the car to remove the original dlrs in light clusters and this worked! for short while then 2 fault codes appeared. r/h and l/h fogs error. but the fog lights were on as dlrs and no other lights were? do I need to maybe set lightings values somewhere else? any help would be great thanks.paul

Paul:
Hmm......... it's getting a bit like a guessing game now!!

I really need more information about the specific settings in your car. The best information would be an adaptation channel map (in CSV format) from your BCM (the module @ address hex09). Do you know how to create an Admap? If so, paste-up a copy here

If not, the 2nd best option is to paste-up a copy of the Leuchte-set for one of the fog lights (I need all 19 x adaptation channels and their settings- please)
