Fog lights flash with indicators

[Zeb2022]

Hi there guys hope everyone is doing well... Now for my question does anyone know how to code fog lights to work with the indicators soo basically when I indicate in a certain direction the fog light flashes with it.

Any help would be appreciated. Hope everyone has a good day

Thank you

Asked a mate, he thinks it would create an MOT issue, something he would need to look in too, but, just in case it’d be a fail.

That would be illegal.

I was just about to post the same as @martin j.

In summary, yes it would be possible via coding - fronts only as there is only a single fog bulb in the rear cluster.

Also, pre-FL or FL and model will make a difference to coding.

However, why? What are you trying to achieve?

I just want it for style as I've seen it on mk7 golf gtd and it looked quite good and before it goes for the mot I'd remove it and restore it back to normal via vcds

Its a pre facelift model 2014 leon fr and What I am trying to achieve is when I turn the left/right signal on for the fogs to flash with it. Thank you

Apart from MOT I think plod might have something to say about it too, rather obvious “Look at me” invitation.

You can do it with an ODB. Personally, I’m not a fan. I’ve even deactivated my DRLs

 

[Glosphil]

Why turn off DRLs? They are a safety feature. Illegal to de-activate? If you car is after 01/03/2018 it will fail MOT if DRLs are not working.

Because I don’t like them. My car is a 2015.

How bizarre.

Why not? You can't see them when you're driving. Other driver's can - which is the whole point.

My 2018 Leon also has the rear sidelights always on - excellent idea.

I just don’t. I don’t see the point of having lights on the whole time the cars on. My auto lights come on early, before it’s dark dark. And my cars white anyway so easy to spot. Shouldn’t need DRLs on to spot me in daylight.

If during your ownership of the car only one other driver who is about to pull out in front of you sees your car due to the DRLs beng on then they were worthwhile.

I used Carista to turn my rear DLR's on all of the time. Nice little feature.

The cornering fog function is not illegal and comes as standard on newer cars.

Get a carista dongle and you can change it on that via an app on your phone.

Cost £9.99 a month but you can cancel after you have enabled it

I can't remember if we've talked about this before, but from the inside, do you get the two red LED lights on above the rear view mirror on all the time? Also things like the centre console buttons being lit all the time.

Using VCDS there are two different ways to code the lights. An auto version which causes the submarine lights to activate. However it is possible to activate each light separately to do this. I’m out today, but will link a couple of posts/webpages that will help:

Look for ‘daytime running lights with tail lights’.

I liked that on my Mk 3.5 FR the rear LED lights always on, Mk 4 only when the sensor detects darkness. .
