It's possible to have them full brightness when on side lights (see VCDS tweaks) - but not dipped beam as far as I have seen.

The are quite bright and distinctive at night when in 'side light mode'

DRLs off when flashing headlights? Does this happen anyway? I've just been looking through a few things and don't know whether it does and I'm not in the car for a few days to check either. At 34 seconds into this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ5V14L-5Mc it appears to be the case. Is it a VCDS tweak

My VCDS trick, my video

Much more annoying for super idiot drivers :p

Hi aki78, I think it looks quite good. Is there a link to the coding?

LED DRLs off with passing lights:

Module 09

Security Access: 31347

Adaptations

Change the following channels:

Leuchte4TFL LB4-Dimming Direction GH 4: 'maximize' to 'minimize'

Leuchte4TFL LB4-Lichtfunktion G 4: 'not active' to 'Lichthupe generell'

Leuchte5TFL RB32-Dimming Direction GH 5: 'maximize' to 'minimize'

Leuchte5TFL RB32-Lichtfunktion G 5: 'not active' to 'Lichthupe generell'

DRL Doesn’t dim on side light, but does dim on low beam - only when ignition is on (returns to normal when ign off)

(4)-Daytime running lights-Parking light activates additionally daytime running lights from not active to Active

What does this mean? That you can drive with full brightness in the drl's while having fog lights active?

@aki78 you seem like you know a thing or two... Can you please explain what ^^^^^^^^^that means? (Referring to my previous post) And what does side light mean? I thought it was the turn signals placed on the left side and right side of your car?

My english isnt too good, so I would really appreciate it if you tried to explain it in a very simple way :P :P :P

Hopefully Andy will add these to the main O3 VCDS tweaks section, some maybe duplicated and some are variations on the ones already listed.

 

Controller 09 - Central Electronics
16 - Security Access - enter 31347
10 - Adaptations

 

Number plate LED adaptation (installed std NON canbus down-facing 501’s) 

 

(1)-Leuchte25KZL HA59-Lasttyp 25 from 18 - 2* 5W to LED Lichtmodul

 

DRL led light bar dimming when indicating

(16)Leuchte2SL VLB10-Lichtfunktion G 2 from "not active" to "Blinken links aktiv beide Phasen" 

(18)Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert GH 2 from “0” to “35” (20 or less will disable the light bar during indicating) Mine is set to 30

(19)Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimming Direction GH 2 from "maximise" to "minimize" 

 

(16)Leuchte3SL VRB21-Lichtfunktion G 3 auf "not active" to "Blinken rechts aktiv beide Phasen" 

(18)Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert GH 3 from “0” to “35” (20 or less will disable the light bar during indicating) Mine is set to 30

DRL Doesn’t dim on side light, but does dim on low beam - only when ignition is on (returns to normal when ign off)

(4)-Daytime running lights-Parking light activates additionally daytime running lights from not active to Active

 

Fog lights -  Mine are set so the outer bulbs are cornering lights and they all come on with low beam at 18% brightness, I do have 30w cree led replacement bulbs which is why the dimming is so low, they look awesome though (parking light brightness)

 

Outer Left (function 1) = (5)-Leuchte8FL LB39-Lichtfunktion B 8 from Inactive to Abbiegelicht links (Cornering left)
Outer right (function 1) = (5)-Leuchte9FL RB2-Lichtfunktion B 9 from inactive to Abbiegelicht recuts (Cornering right)
                                                                                                                                                                   

Inner left (function 1) = (5)-Leuchte12NL LB45-Lichtfunktion B 12 from inactive to ABBLENDLICHT links  (Low beam left)                      
Brightness of inner left Func 1 = (6)-Leuchte12NL LB45-dimmerwert AB 12 to 18%
 

Inner right (function 1) = (5)-Leuchte13NL RB5-Lichtfunktion B 13 from inactive to ABBLENDLICHT recuts (Low beam right)  
Brightness of inner right Func 1 = (5)-Leuchte13NL RB5-dimmerwert AB 13 to 18%

 

Outer left (function 2) = (8)-Leuchte8FL LB39-Lichtfunktion C 8 – from Inactive to ABBLENDLICHT links   (Low beam left)

Brightness of outer left F2 = (10)-Leuchte8FL LB39-Dimmwert CD 8 - change to 18%

 

Outer Right (function 2) = (8)-Leuchte9FL RB2-Lichtfunktion C 9 – from inactive to ABBLENDLICHT rechts  (Low beam right)

Brightness of outer right F2 = (10)-Leuchte9FL RB2-Dimmwert CD 9 - change to 18%

 

Foglights as coming home/leaving home lights

(4)-Comfort illumination-Coming Home Leuchten - change from “ABBLENDLICHT” to “Nebellicht)” (Foglight)

On my car This does NOT swap low beam to fog lights, but uses FOG lights as well. (any suggestions how this could be done would be great)

 

US front indicator running lights when low beam is on

(9)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion D 0 (Left indicator) from Nickt Activ to ABBLENDLICHT links
(10)-Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Dimmwert CD 0 – Brightness from 0% to 30%
(9)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Lichtfunktion D 1 (Right indicator) from Nickt Activ to ABBLENDLICHT rechts
(10)-Leuchte1BLK VRB20-Dimmwert CD 1 – Brightness from 0% to 30%

 

This next bit ensures when you are indicating the bulb goes on/off and not on/30% brightness

(12) Leuchte0BLK B36 VL E0 from “not active” to blinken links dunkelphase (blinking left  dark phase)

(15) Leuchte0BLK VL B36-Dimming Direction EF 0 Adjust value from “maximise” to “minimize”

(12) Leuchte1BLK VRB20 E 1 from “not active” to blinken rechts dunkelphase (blinking left dark phase)

(15) Leuchte1BLK VRB20 dimming Direction EF 1 Adjust value from “maximise” to “minimize”

 

 

Rear lights on permamently (no number plate lights)

(9)-Leuchte23SL HLC10-Lichtfunktion D 23 from "not active" to "daytime running lights"
(9)-Leuchte24SL HRA65-Lichtfunktion D 24 from "not active" to "daytime running lights"

 

 

TWEAKS I WOULD LIKE (if anyone can help)

 

1. The coding for the front fog lights (all 4) to be coded as LED's to save me adding resistors to stop bulb failure warning

2. Hill Hold Control, the ability to increase the time it holds automatically for, standard is around 2 seconds

3. Coming home / leaving home lights to work in the "0" light switch position (if this can be done then forget number 4)

4. Permanent dash (clocks) illumination, I know you can set tail, DRL and clock illumination on all the time but this leaves the side light illumination on the light switch.  The problem with this is I can't see when the lights are in auto position if the headlights have actually been turned on.

 

Thanks all

Can You post photo of yours fog lights on 18% with low beam please. Thanks

Sorry I don’t have the car any more.

 @xpower  Thanks for this great post.

I've been doing a few tweaks on my 2015 Octy VRS which I got a couple of weeks ago (I used to have a superb through the company I worked for)

 

Fitted my LED foglights today and coded as above.  I've yet to test in the dark, but as far as I can see they don't dim at all.  Do I need specific LED's to do this? 

Hi do you have the codes or the number or the no how to make my Octavia rear lights light up properly?? Long story short I’ve some how messed settings up using my snap on Ethos Edge on latest software... I was playing in central electronics then functional tests, then selected parking light activation menu and just messed about... stupidly now (my own fault) on side light it’s just the top and sides NOT the full Skoda “c” for rear sidelights, also when I open the boot the side parts turn off till I close boot lid, oh and I also lost passenger side reverse light. NO bulb failure warnings so I tried the same on a sister Octavia thinking I could copy setting but I cocked that up aswell, any help greatly appreciated. 
 Many thanks 

FINALLY  managed to sort it out, noticed side lights/tail lights have been quite dim since cocking the settings up and loosing the lower half... so on the diagnostic and changed vehicle type from Octavia sedan too superb combi/station wagon and all rear lights are fine, brighter, full Skoda “C” for sides/tails and also both reverse lights and everything stays illuminated when I open the tailgate.
 The only real difference is that it now has both rear fog lights working instead of just the driver side.  

So i tried the coding for making the dash lights constant illuminate on ignition but it wont work on my car, is their another way or anybody got the coding for this ? 

 

I would like to have the rear lights as DRL's and also the dash lights illuminate fully on ignition (constant - until car if off)

 

Thanks
