    Amber rear light

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I got out of my car and walked to the rear hatch there I discovered an amber diagonal light only on the driver's side, strange I had no indicators pointing to a light issue. I was told that it is a Euro lamp setting for fog. The bulb was removed because the code to turn on both rear amber tail lights wasn't available. I personally like having the amber light in addition to the standard lights. Does anyone have a recommended location in Southern Cal area to program the tail lights to Euro spec.

    X2 for Eurocode. - higher price(for an indy), but great work.

    If M-F is not an option then you can head down to AUTuning in Newport. Been there, would recommend, work on (almost exclusively) on VAG cars, slightly cheaper than Eurocode.

    C6 A6 S-line - GONE

    Thanks for the heads up. I contacted Eurocode, it can be done, but it requires some additional tweaking because the right side wasn't setup for an amber, which is just a light that's activated when the car is parked on the side of a road a Euro thing, I saw it on a P 924 a friend had back in the day.

    do you have a vag com cable?
    you can change the coding by yourself

    — [46 — Comfort System];
    — [Coding — 07];
    minus 0004096 from your current value
    it would be a Euro specs with amber turn signals, LED stops, one reverse and one rear fog light
