All modifications are found in Found in Coding, Long Coding Helper unless otherwise noted.
Daytime Running Lights - The lamp systems are different:
Factory Xenon (or Halogen DRL's that are using the main low/dipped beam) – Byte 11
Factory Halogen (generally when using a separate bulb or filament for DRL only) – Byte 15
Cornering Lights via Front Fog Lights active
Notes: After "Cornering Lights via Front Fog Lights active" is enabled, the lights may work under the following conditions:
The headlights must be turned on and the steering wheel must be in the turning direction.
The headlights must be turned on and the turn signal must be on in the turning direction.
Also see Byte 17, Adaptive Light/Cornering Light Variant. This seems to control the fogs as cornering lights with turn signal.
Fogs as Daytime Running Lights for Xenon equipped vehicles or Halogen equipped using the main low/dipped beam
Byte 11 - Un-check "Daytime Running Lights (via Low Beam) active"
Byte 14 - Check "Daytime Running Lights (DRL) via Fog Lights active"
Fogs and Xenon Headlights as DRLs (Both) for Xenon equipped vehicles or Halogen equipped using the main low/dipped beam
Byte 11 - leave this alone (DRL's on)
Byte 14 - Check "Daytime Running Lights (DRL) via Fog Lights active"
Fogs as Daytime Running Lights for Halogen equipped vehicles or using a separate bulb or filament for DRL only
Disable Factory DRL's in Byte 15 - un-check "Daytime Running Lights (via separate lights) active"
Byte 14 - Check "Daytime Running Lights (DRL) via Fog Lights active"
Notes: Depending on the Byte 18 coding, this may result in all of the parking lights illuminating.

When it's done correctly there should be no bulb error on the dashboard.
Make sure you did the proper coding or check the bulbs.

I followed the instruction from Ross Tech on this post http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4743553-VCDS-MKVI-MK6-Platform-Handy-Coding-tweaks
I also did the one from this post

I don't have any hardware/bulbs issues. They all work fine when I switch to the factory code for the Central Elec module.
Can you please point me to the correct coding?
Thanks!

Xenon or halogen?

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
I have coded many cars to do this and always followed this reference. Never had any issues. Hope it helps.
Lighting: Fogs as DRLs
Description: Use your fog lights instead of your low beams for DRLs
For Xenon equipped vehicles or Halogen equipped using the main low/dipped beam:
Check bit 1 of byte 14 in Central Electronics Long Coding Helper
Un-check bit 2 of byte 11 in Central Electronics Long Coding Helper (or leave checked to run BOTH fogs and low beams)
Pic tutorial: Fogs as DRLs for Xenon-equipped Vehicles
For Halogen equipped vehicles or using a separate bulb or filament for DRL only:
Uncheck bit 6 of byte 15 in Central Electronics Long Coding Helper
Check bit 1 of byte 14 in Central Electronics Long Coding Helper
Pic tutorial: Fogs as DRLs for Halogen-equipped Vehicles
Note: Depending on the Byte 18 coding, this may result in all of the parking lights illuminating.

Thats what i used - did halogen on accident the first time and it was wrong because im a moro. And forgot i have xenons. Coded for xenons which wirked and now the light error is still there. Any ideas?

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
Did you un do the halogen coding that you previously did before coding for xenons? Get in the habit of always saving the original long coding on a text file before you make any changes, that way you can just easily revert back if you screw something up.

i reverted back, yeah. will tinker around with this tomorrow after work, i guess.
would my city lights box need to be checked for this?

put it back to what i had before, or so i thought because it didn't fault last night when i did it but the faults are back this morning.. possible i messed up the module?
