can the sidelights work via the auto headlight switch
« on: October 26, 2014, 11:44:05 am »

Hi just enquiring if it is possible to change which lights work via the auto lights set up, I.e. could vcds enable the side lights to work in auto mode as opposed to the headlights?

Thanks rob1

I was wondering this too becaus as soon as it goes dull side light and headlight come on auto it should be in stages, side lights first then when it gets darker headlights :)

Yep does the same, well the headlights come on. I am considering fitting led bulbs as the sidelights hence the question.

No.
Dipped beam and side lights only.
Why would you want sidelights on anyway? You can't use them for visibility at all! Only being seen, in which case dipped beam would be better all around, no?

Hi, similiar question, if I replace the fogs with DRL's would it be possible to have them turn off with the the Auto lights? Or how could I have them setup?
