CODING: Headlights

[snapdragon]

Code LED with AFS and see if there is an error in the cluster (or just in VCDS). If annoying error on the cluster, you could try running a wire from the cornering light pin on the connector to the fog light +ve and have fog light cornering lights like Mercedes/renault/citroën.

Cheers guys

The only reason why I'm asking this, is because both of them read my thread and they already got what they need, and even if they haven't noticed that that's for headlights with AFS I'll be gutted if it wont work for them, and it kind of makes me feel responsible.

I know the possible causes, I just thought one of you may know definitive answer.

I wont be involve in both jobs....but Scott will be in Mark's
I think he wants you to help him with that when he comes over to sort out the ballast and headlights issues.
If there is no way to make it work on headlights with AFS, I would rather let them know before hand, because it's a bast ard job to fit all 4 bulbs and if this can't be done, then they will have to do it again, very frustrating if that would be me.

I like Dragons idea, worth trying if coding wont work.

The issue which I mentioned before is that they both have Bi-Xenons with halogen P21W. but one has wiring for AFS in place and other hasn't, and I was just wonder if that matters at all.

Thank you very much as I'm sure it wasn't the easiest explanation and answer

M-A8, Your AFS is not wired up yet is it?

So essentially you have the same setup as mark and Dave?

Yeah, that's what I realized.
David hasn't got it, but looking at VIN decoder I'm confused again as it says Bi-Xenons with LED and AFS ??? Will look into it today.

You know Marks car, how far did you went with investigating his car??
We know his headlights were unfairly downgraded.
Do yo know if his wring was changed as well, or they just swapped the lights and left everything as it was??
I'm just thinking how car will react to Bi LED AFS coding with wiring in place but not the headlights for it.

From what I can tell with marks car is it had a front end shunt, they replaced the broken bits with cheaper (my assumption) parts.
Basic, cheap headlights and never bothered paying for the proper AFS headlights.
Its all their, just not being used.

I can't see the cabling causing any issues.
The unit wont send any AFS signals if its not coded and if it is coded the signals would have no where to go cause there's nothing there to take the coding.

so he should be ok.

That's what I thought about the signal, but 8s are weird cars when it comes to electrics plus sometimes I can be very wrong, that's why I prefer to ask the question
