Hello, I just coded my Fog Lights as Cornering Lights and wanted to show you how (Audi A3 8V). In my example I deactivated both of them for Coming/Leaving home. If you want the fog lights to be cornering Lights and Coming/Leaving Home lights just change "Lichtfunktion C 13" and "Lichtfunktion C 12" to "Coming/Leaving home..."   |

mattepranks: hm......... need much more information! What country? Did you change Leuchte12NL LB45-Lichtfunktion B 12 to Abbiegelicht links? and did you select ECE R119 for the channel static AFS light-Vorschrift? Don

Hello,
My car is 2016 A3 8V with halogen lights. I also stuck on the same part. Could not find the related part to enter the new value 'ECE R119'. Also can't figure our what does 'Select: channel (5)' or 'Select: channel (2)' means in adaptation menu. Quoted the related part from the forum below.
Quote
Adaptation
Select: channel (5) Leuchte12NL LB45 Light Function B12
New Value cornering left
Select: channel (5) Leuchte13NL RB5 light function B13
New Value cornering right
Select: channel (2) static cornering light regulation ECE R48
New Value ECE R48 / ECE R119
Unquote
If any one can help, i will be very happy.
Thanks in advance...

I suspect that most of your confusion results from the fact that the steps for the instructions in your post were written for an early version of VCDS. Not surprisingly, OBD11 does things a little different!!
What you need to do is to enable "cornering lights" (VW calls this "Abbiegelicht") in the Leuchte-channels for each of the front fog lights. The process goes something like this: - Select Central electrics control module
- Select Security access
- Enter the magic number 31347
- Select Adaptations
- Search for Leuchte12NL LB45 (this is the left-side fog-light)
- Select Lichtfunktion B 12 and only if your current setting is not active, change setting to Abbiegelicht links
- Search for Leuchte13NL RB5 (this is the right-side fog-light)
- Select Lichtfunktion B 13 and only if your current setting is not active, change setting to Abbiegelicht rechts
- Search for static AFS light
- Select Vorschrift and change to ECE R48 / ECE R119
Hint: in steps VI & VIII above, don't confuse the Leuchte-commands Abbiegelicht links/rechts with Abblendlicht links/rechts - they are very different!! The former is correct for this tweak - the latter is not!!

I have a 2014 8v, I observed that whenever I activate fog lights with drls, the fog light as cornering lights stop working.....is there a way to have both options? That is, fog lights as DRL during the day and when low beams are on fog lights as cornering lights?

OK - I assume from the values in your screenshot that Leuchte13NL RB5-Lichtfunktion D 13 > Abbiegelicht rechts:
Try this:
Leuchte12NL LB45 and Leuchte13NL RB5, change Lichtfunktion D to Tagfahrlicht

Hi dv52 (Australia), I got the fog working as intended but I upgraded to led bulbs about 19days ago, the driver's side went out 2 days ago, changed both sides yesterday and the driver's side is beginning to dim again. Do I need to change the bulb type with obdeleven? Could the wrong type selected in adaptations be responsible for the bulbs burning out? |

maday007 hmmm....... running LED lamps with incandescent lamp settings isn't normally a problem. if you are gettimg short life from you new LEDs, I suspect that it's an issue with the lamps, themselves- there is a vast array of quality in LEDs out in the market (some I wouldn't buy at any price). If you want to try the factory settings for LED front fog lights, do this: Leuchte12NL LB45 and Leuchte13NL RB5: - Lasttyp > 6 - LED Lichtmodul
- Dimmwert AB > 127
- Dimmwert CD > 127

dv52 (Australia)What LED bulbs would you recommend for the fog lights, also...would you say the led bulbs are better/brighter than xenon in the headlights?

maday007: When buying LEDs, I suggest that folk look at the manufacturer of the LED itself - which is often different from the the manufacturer of the lamp. Choose reputable LED sources! Often folk simply buy on price, or which lamp is the brightest. It's real easy to get more Lumens from an LED; simply drive more electrical current into the device. Problem is that unless the device is correctly engineered, the LED P/N junction is compromised by over-temperature - which affects the longevity of the lamp. So these LEDs burn brighter for a shorter period of time!! And then there are LEDs that are simply poorly made and should really never be sold at all (mostly from China - albeit there are good Chinese LEDs). I like LED sellers that quote operating hours for their products I don't have a particular recommendation - my advice is to do the necessary research before buying. There are lots of comparison sites on the web that are worth reading!! Don

dv52 (Australia)I got new LEDs for the fog lights and they've been working fine so far, thanks for your help. I'm about to get a led front emblem and was looking up the wiring, if I wanted it to only come up at night ( basically CH/LH and while driving), what wire would you advice I connect to? Considered the fog lights but they work with my DRLs during the day. my low beam does not work with CH/LH(just fogs and DRLs)

maday007: Wow - a LED front emblem - very fancy!! Not sure that I understand the lighting set-up on your car. If there isn't an existing lamp on the vehicle that operates as you want the emblem to operate, then isn't the answer to your question obvious (perhaps I'm missing something)? Maybe design and build a logic-gate (as a separate device) that works off signals from both the fogs and low beam lamps and that will defeat the DRL function. But if you want a simple wire splice solution, I suspect that you will need to change the operation of an existing lamp - maybe add CH/LH to the low-beam lamp) Don

dv52 (Australia) Thanks for your response. It actually crossed my mind that I might have to change my CH/LH to low beams. Can low beams and fog lights be used at the same time for CH/LH? Another thing that crossed my mind is to wire it into the rear lamps, they come on with the CH/LH and only come on at night anyway but I don't know how to go about that,

Can low beams and fog lights be used at the same time for CH/LH? Yes they can - there very few restrictions on how many of the 35 x exterior lights that can be used as CH/LH function at the same time!
It ain't difficult to make the change - simply add the CH/LH Leuchte-command Coming Home oder Leaving Home aktiv to an unused Lichtfunktion in the Leuchte-sets and change the associated Dimmwert value to 100/127 (depending on the lamp type)
Another thing that crossed my mind is to wire it into the rear lamps, they come on with the CH/LH and only come on at night anyway but I don't know how to go about that, Yes, this option is doable too - though it might be more difficult to make the wire splice because you will need to do this either inside the cabin, or at the rear of the car.
ALL car lighting on MQB platform vehicles begins at the central electrics module. This module is physically located in the cabin - see picture below (BCM =OBD11's central electrics module). This option requires that you identify and splice into the correct wire on one of the 3 x sockets shown. I can probably help with the pin-out identification if you want to proceed with this option

dv52 (Australia): Thanks alot for your help so far. Ideally, I'd love to wire it into the rear lamps but the thought of having to snake the wires from the engine bay into the cabin exhausts me even before beginning. On the other hand, if I do decide to use the low beams and fog lights as CH/LH and I leave the Dimmert value for the low beams at let's say 0, what happens then? Does that mean power goes to the low beam but it just won't come on? Or it'll be very dim? Pardon me I'm slightly new to this whole obdeleven game.

maday007 : No pardon needed - those are intelligent questions (well considered)!! I will assume that you don't have a background in electrical circuits, or Leuchte-programming:
- In respect of the latter, you are correct; the arrangement for Leuchte-sets is that each of the 8 x Lichtfunktion channels has its own, individual Dimmwert setting- meaning its own illumination value. If you set the Dimmwert value for the low-beam lights for the CH/LH function to "say 0", there will be no illumination (or in your words "no power" - effectively CH/LH will be switched-OFF).
- In respect of the former, if the LED emblem is spliced into the low-beam wire (on one car-side), in techno-babble it is "wired in parallel" with the low-beam circuit. This means that the LED emblem will replicate exactly how the low-beam lamp operates (with no variation).
So, if the low-beam lamp has its CH/LH Dimmwert value set to zero, the LED emblem won't illuminate for this lighting function (just like the low-beam lamp)

dv52 (Australia): Thanks for your guidance. The car has gone in for some maintenance, I'll make up my mind on the best way to go about it when the car comes back to me.
