FOG LIGHTS ON WITH PARKING LIGHTS (Daytime Running Lights [DRL]), BUT NOT LOWBEAMS
(Supposedly only avail on 2002 models)

NOTE: I have bi-xenon ecodes installed.
1. Log into VAG COM
2. go to 09-Central Electronics
3. Click on CODING

OK so, here's the wierd thing, my coding was set to 03 (Conventional Halogens / USA). I set the coding to 13 (Xenon headlights / USA) and there wasn't any difference w/ how the foglights turned on. I set the coding to 14 (Xenon headlights / Canada)..... sawwwweeet.

Here's how it runs now
- Fog lights now turn on w/ city lights, when you put your switch on the parking light position.
- When I turn switch to low beam position, fog lights turn off, city lights stay on.
- Same position, fog light switch pulled, fog lights turn on!

NOTE: I believe have a late model 2002 (Dec), Even though my car is a 2003. perhaps this is why I can do this. Thoughts?

EDIT 02.05.07 - So this coding actually activates Day Time Running Lights. In otherwords, once I start the car, the fogs, city lights and rear tails turn on for duration of trip. I might turn this off, or experiment with other country codes."
