Hi I have a 2009 seat ibiza sport 1.4 16v, is it possible to enable the front fogs to be Drls? If so can anyone advice how it can be done, thanks a lot

Yes disconnect the live feed wire and connect it to a switch live. As for the legality of such a mod, I very much doubt it's legal.

Ok cool, how do I go about doing that

 

[Jason0186]

1) DISCONNECT BATTERY
2) Locate the front fogs live feed (+) wire from the fog light loom.
3) Locate a switch live wire (live when ignition on) eg: cig lighter

Cut the (+) wire from the loom and splice it onto the switch live wire

Now the fog lights will come on and off when you turn ignition on and off

Let me know if you need any more help.

Thanks thats an awsome guide. I will probably need more help with it! Is there an option to enable it in vag com as that might be easier, thanks

TBH I doubt it as 1) it's on a switch 2) they not meant to be used as DRL. If you post in the Vag-com section I'm sure someone will be able to say for definite if its possible to do it on vagcom.

I've heard on some models you can do it. But wasn't sure if I could do it on mine... Is the switched live mot legal? Or is there any way I could wire it so it could be turned off.
Also I kinda have another question (i know, a lot of questions!) - I would like to have leaving home-lights on my car as it does not have this feature. How would I go about installing this? I know it is canbus so I dont want to cause any problems.

Don't worry about asking to many questions, there will be a time i'll be asking you for help.

I think your main problem is going to be the legal side as I'm sure driving with your fogs on (when not foggy) is illegal so PROBABLY an MOT fail.

Yes you can put a switch in the line so that you can turn it on and off like any other lights. Will be easier to do than the method I mentioned earlier.

Or you could just alter the long coding in the BCM and leave the wiring as it is...

MJ as I say I was unsure if it was possible to do that. The method I was suggesting was based on you not being able to do that. Could you explain how to do your method?

How do you do that Mj?

i have recently fitted fogs with a built in led ring on the outside. they fit in the oem side grilles and look great but still oem which is what i wanted. cost about 160 quid. i gave them to an auto electric and he wired them up to switch on when the ignition is on and switch off when the xenons fire up. check these babys out
