I like this, but I tend to use the foglights when in the countryside anyway as you get a better spread of light.
Neat function

Enabling Cornering Fog Lights Function

To do this first connect your VCDS to the car and carry out and save a full Autoscan.

Currently I have only tested this on the Central Electronics Controller 3C0 937 049 AJ (30 Byte) so you will need to identify the controller you have fitted to you car. 

Open controller number 09 and confirm the part number in the field marked VAG Number.

With the controller open select Coding 07 which will open a new window.

As you will see we have to change Byte 23, Bit 2 and Bit 3-4.  Bit 2 simply requires a tick in the check box and Bit 3-4 is a drop down list where you should select 08 Turn Lights via Fog Lights.

Once you've made the change choose Exit to close Long Coding Helper and copy the code back to the Recode Module screen.  Once in the Recode Module Screen you should see the new long code inserted into the white box.  Choose Do It and VCDS will validate the code before writing it to the controller and returning you to the Open Controller screen.

At this point it's always worth doing a quick check for stored fault codes that might relate to the changes you've made.

To activate the Cornering Function simply switch on the headlights and turn the steering wheel, it is better to carry this out with the engine running as the steering is easier to turn.  You should see that the front fog lights will illuminate at varying levels depending on the steering wheel position.

Please note that the functions and bit/byte locations may vary depending on which version of controller you have. If you find a variation please contact me with full details and the VAG part number of the controller and I will add it to these instructions.



Personally I really don't see the point and furthermore I think it could be misleading to other motorists, but ETTO, and I love my LED Daylight Running Lights!

I can quickly flash on and off between my DRL's and my headlights , so there! Na na nana na!

They are intended to provide extra side illumination - For example, to light up that pedestrian on the pavement corner, but I take the view that it's more his/her responsibility to see and hear our motor vehicle with its lights on!

On our cars which don't have swivelling lights, I don't see the point.
