Hello everyone, before a year I bought a used Skoda Kodiaq Ambition 2.0 TDi 4x4.

I am very happy with the car but I cannot enable the the tail lights when the lights are ON. This is one of the reasons I bought OBD eleven but I can’t figured out. I change the option to turn them ON with parking light and they are working. I cannot open them when the lights turn on. I am attaching a night photo

Surely the Tail Lights come on with the Sidelight on and Headlights, is it with the DRL,s at the front on you want the rears on? Parking lights are One front and one rear sidelights on when the indicator down and ignition off. Side / Position Lights are not Parking Lights. Not in the UK anyway.

This is what I am taking about, I would like to turn on the inside part on the boot

If you have a low spec Kodiaq those parts of the lights are not fitted with LEDs so they will never turn on.

Have you checked if the light units actually have the LEDs in them?

It's the same thing on my Scala with mixed lights-led/halogen. Those boot lights are just decoration

I thought that the lights doesn’t have fitted the leds but I made the coding with OBD eleven when I turn on the parking lights (turn lever down position with engine off) to turn them both and they are working. I can’t understand why now the lights didn’t turn on.

When I activated the eyelashes I did also the taillights with daylights always on. Not sure it helps you, but you can just investigate further here. Also, not sure OBD11 can do everything. It misses a lot of functions. I coded with VCDS. But suit yourself.
