Wouldn't be surprised if your car doesn't have the right controller though Paul.

i did see it on your site stu thats why i thought id ask.

[cheezemonkhai]

To be fair I don't see the point in doing it with fogs and it's very distracting coming towards a car doing that (Seen it on mercs).

Much better was the citroen DS and I assume now others method of swivelling the main bulbs in the light housing or indeed the whole lamp.

[sms]

but the main lights do that to in the video above.

[sebulbus]

Yes, but yours couldn't even if they wanted to. They're of a different construction.

[sms]

i know mine cant move, just wanted to know what cornering lights were. might have a look at seeing if the fog lights can be done, but feel as stu has said that it probably cant.

[cheezemonkhai]

I still think using the fog shouldn't be legal as it really is distracting for other drivers.

So apart from hooking up your car to VAG-Com, there is no way else to check? I got a MY2007, would this even be a possibility?

[vimto2000]

IIRC I thought the cornering lights only functioned at very low speeds...Ie to help with car parks etc...not for go round bends on the roads.

Would this be a feature on mine Stu?

Its a late 07...

I depends if you have the correct controller. I have it on mine which is Aug/Sept 07 build.

[sworrall]

My June 07 vRS has the wrong controller for this, no Byte 23.

Shame!!

So, can the controller be changed? lol

[vimto2000]

Mine was Jan 2007...so pretty sceptical about mine. So who is round the manchester area to get this checked out ...won't be for a while as working down south with no access to my car! :(

[VRStu]

Yes it can be changed.

[vRS Carl]

oooh how do you change as my code is almost identical except it ends in E rather than J

Carl

[VRStu]

When you lower the drivers side knee panel it is the unit you see under there on the right handside of the steering column.

[vRS Carl]

ok that helps :confused:

I take it you take that out and replace with a new one? Any Idea how much it is for one.

Carl:thumbup:

[VRStu]

It comes out quite easily, it has a fair few plugs etc in it but wouldn't take long to change. You'd need to code a new one then to match your car.

Dunno what sort of money they'd be. Parts catalogue is suggesting quite expensive.

[vRS Carl]

Sod that ill use one of my many torches instead . Ive never had it so i wont miss it.

Does this actually work on the vRS? Fogs and all?:confused:
