And by coding you can enable parking lights like the u.s. versions (amber) . Coded it to %30.



Hi guys, great thread. I have some Philips Blue Vision which I had on the Mk6 and will be removing for part-ex, happy to hear they will come in handy on the GTD!

Quick question though, the fogs in this picture, when are they on? Sounds silly but are they only on when switched on from the cabin? The car looks awesome with them on and seems a waste not to use them when there isn't any fog!

Glad to see we get the dynamic cornering xenons too, I think that was the conclusion, can't wait to see these in action.

The fogs are controlled by the switch in the car the same as your mk6 mate.

Thanks Jimble - thought that might be the case. Will have to add the leaving home fog light tweak to my list of VCDS mods, along with some other goodies no doubt.. :rolleyes:

I wonder if there is a VCDS tweak to allow the front fogs to come on to supplement main beam?

Much as the car has both active headlights and static cornering lights, I always used to switch on my fogs when I had high beam on down unlit country roads as it used to light up the verges really well. It might be not so much of a problem with all the lighting tech on the car but would be nice to know.

EDIT - and the last thing I want to be is one of those throbbers who drives round with the front fogs on all the time lol!

I'd also be interested in this..even better if it could be coded to allow MFD enable/ disable.
