Just purchased but I miss anti fog lamps

Featured Replies

In Greece, also, there are no fog lights on Ambition trim level. 

Given it's a new model, it's hard to say if you'll be able to retrofit fog lights as per factory...

 

The obvious things to check are:

- do the bumper blanking plates come out?

- are the holes the correct shape for the fog lights?

 

If no, you're out of luck...

If yes, you have two options...

 

Option 1

Ask someone with factory fitted fog lights and VCDS if they can post an adaption map for the BCM. By comparing their adaption map to yours, you can find the changes needed to enable the fog lights.

 

Be warned, SFD (vehicle protection) may prevent VCDS from changing anything! I'd suggest you try whatever changes are needed with the bonnet open but if the car doesn't allow the changes, you probably need a SFD token. I have no idea if some functions will also need a FeC/SWaP code as I believe something like cornering fogs are now available to purchase through the radio...?

 

Assuming the changes were successful (there will be error codes) now is the time to buy the extra parts needed and create a wiring loom as per the factory wiring diagram. Finally, add the new loom, fogs and switch then enjoy a beer ;)

 

Option 2

If option 1 fails you might need to create a custom loom for an aftermarket switch. This will avoid all the cars systems so you'll only get front fogs, there will be no bulb monitoring, cornering fogs or reversing fogs.

 

It'll basically be a fused supply to the fogs via a relay controlled by a switch in the cabin. If you're lucky, you might be able to use an original fog switch to make it look more standard.

I have inspected carefully the bumper and I'm sure this is modular and  1 and 2 are true.
