You just need vcds, go into central electrics and its in there, you can have any brightness you wish on then,  you just put in a value, I have mine on 75 percent
Loads of extra's and retro fits.

VAGCOM address 09 central electrics , long coding, long coding helper, turn signal as running light and type in a value between 0-100 this is for the brightness. I have mine at 20% and is a good brightness

Cornering lights I assume you mean the fog lights as cornering lights? Iirc you will need a new 30 byte highline CECM.
Where are you? Near Bradford?

Your confusing the highline display in your instrument cluster with the 30 byte highline central electrics module which you'll need. I doubt you'll have the the 30 byte CECM.
If your ever in the area give me a shout on here and I'll happily do the lights for you.

It all depends on what cecm you've got. If you have a 30 byte one then yes, you just need to activate it via vcds  :happy2:

So does this mean my car has features that could be turned on?

Like this?  :grin:



As said you use VCDS in 09-> coding -> long coding helper -> turn signal as running light

You don't need a fancy CECM for that but you do for the cornering fogs (Just clarifying).
ps on a personal note I think cornering fogs look daft  :scared: :P
