He figured out the code or something. I had it done with him so feel free to message him and if your in the London area and surrounding, I am sure he will be able to help you.

I think it took him all of 5 mins to de-activate it hehehehe. Plugged in his laptop which I assume has VAS on it and hey presto, my life is so much better now. Contact him any way, he may be able to help mate.

Am I the only one who likes these cornering fog lights? Makes tight manoeuvres in the dark much easier.

 

[stukillen]

i like them to although i can see why others dont.

 

[jc_boc]

LOL. I am sure in the country side they are good but I live in London so have no use for them at all. Besides you need to be crawling along to turn before they come on.

 

[TSI BOY]

I like them show alot more off were your turning

I find myself feeling actually embarrassed when they come on. If anything, it's made me a worse driver as I tend to indicate as little as possible, or fling my car around a 90 degree corner at 30Mph so they don't come on .

I've not been pulled over or anything yet. To me they're a good (verging on great) idea, but totally pointless for the areas I drive in and they're such a new thing that other road users just think that you're one of the pillocks who drive around with their fogs on.

 

[TSI BOY]

Yeah I see your point of view depends where you live I suppose. Should be able to turn them off like the auto lock function

It has to be done by the dealer with their computer plugged in to the car

OR

By someone who has VCDS on a laptop and the correct cable plugged in to the car


Either way - it neds to be disabled within the control unit of the car through the OBD port

Take the bulbs out.... easy fix can't recomend it though

 

[Greig.FR]

im sure you could always remove the fuse? hahaha

there is a way to disable the cornering lights without the use of laptop or any kind of program.

i did it on mine.

behind the light control switch you just pull out pin 11
or as i did i cut it and installed a switch on pin 11 cable, and whenever i want cornering on i put the switch to on position and when i want cornering off i put it at off position.

the pin 11 cable is the cable that goes to the cornering control unit and tell it if the lights are on,
so if we cut it, the cornering control unit thinks that the main lights are off so it doesn't turn on cornering.
it is like the command pin in a relay.

i figure it out one day by messing with my cables

hope I helped.
