Not today but on Friday, finally fitted all 4 door latch covers.  Liking them, they give a nice clean look and the logo is very subtle and only evident from certain angles so not in your face.

Nice touch Rebecca, even if it's likely only you that'll ever notice them there  :smiley:

Thanks Joe. I'm the only one that notices most things about my car so no change there, lol.

I think I would have noticed it if it was like it from factory. If it's not on the outside then I don't know how it got scratched. I noticed it from about 20ft away when walking out to collect my car.

Sorry I don't know what happened to your car but do know the tint isn't applied to the surface of the glass.
As long as they swapped it out for you.

Yes will post up coding no problem.  I'm still sourcing those bits you mention but once sure of it, will post up.

Cheers, I assumed you already had the coding in advance. I have found some assistance on the OBDeleven forum in the past.

I had some of it already but have found conflicting info on some of the other coding so wanted to delve into it a bit more to be sure.  I'm also looking on the obdeleven forum but that's where some of the contradiction is, lol.

The coding for the Full Brake Lights (inner brake lights active and increased brightness) is:

Module 09 (Central Electrics)
Security Access 16
Code = 31347
Adaptation 10
Channel (8)-Leuchte27 NSL RC6
Lichtfunktion C27
Set to brake light = Bremslicht (default is not active)

Channel (10)-Leuchte27 NSL RC6
Dimming CD27
Set to 100 (default is 0)

I haven't done it yet, but will give it a go tomorrow evening.  More to follow hopefully.


Just to confirm, the above is the correct coding for OBDeleven for full brake lights (inner leds).  Did it tonight and worked fine.



Thank's for the confirmation Booth, I have amended that this morning. I think I need to see it at night to get the full effect!
Cheers!

Hmm... I may well be reversing this adaptation in the morning.

This is the first time I have used the car in the dark since coding the full brake lights.

When I lock the car, the inner parts of the red light, as in the part of the lamp on the actual hatchback door stay illuminated for 5 minutes after the door mirror puddle lamps go out. So you walk away with part of the rear lights on!

Has anyone else noticed this?
Cheers.

I haven't noticed, but then I haven't checked it, will take a look tomorrow.  Haven't heard any mention of it anywhere.

As Mr GTD has linked above.  There's loads of sellers on aliexpress so just pick cheapest. If yours is a 3 dr they do a 2pc set as well on eBay.
