Lighting functions¶
VCDS warning
For some reason they decided to transfer these functions to VCDS or as they like to call it, Vasya. As a result, a bunch of values in the select list have the same name.
Be careful

Group chains¶
Each lamp is divided into a maximum of 8 functions, 4 brightness values and 4 brightness directions.
Lichtfunktion A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H - functions of the lamp in the on-board network. They turn on when an external event occurs.
Each channel has four pairs - AB CD EF GH, that is, in total eight functions can be registered in one channel.
Each pair can also be given their own chain of work.
The higher the lighting group, the more important the function: GH > EF > CD > AB. The occurrence of a new event overrides the current one, function H has the highest priority.
If the flashing function is coded in groups AB and CD and the fog light is coded as function E, The turn signal on the appropriate side will remain on continuously, even if you flash while the fog light is on!
Each function group has a brightness option and a direction to change the brightness.
For example,
Lichtfunktion C 6: nicht aktiv
Lichtfunktion D 6: nicht aktiv
Dimmwert CD 6: 0
Dimming Direction CD 6: maximize
Lighting function group AB does not have a dimming direction since the light is normally off.
Instead there is "Lichtansteuerung HD AB" - HD stands for trunk lid and can be coded as "Always" and "only_if_closed".
So if you want to access the light source only when the trunk lid is closed, then "only_if_closed" should be coded there.
So if you want to access the light source only when the trunk lid is closed, then "only_if_closed" should be coded there.
Brightness¶
In each pair, the channel has a lamp dimming option - Dimmwert.
For halogen lamps, adjustment is carried out in the range from 0 to 100.
For diodes, adjustment is carried out in the range from 0 to 127.
When set to 127, they stop responding to dimming in the interface; only on/off works.
When set to 126, the upper brightness limit is higher and dimming is maintained.
Values greater than 127 are not accepted for this field. Unlike all the others, it is 7-bit, the block resets the eighth bit.
Not all diodes can be dimmed.
An increase or decrease in the brightness of the glow is realized by increasing or decreasing the duty cycle of the PWM signal.
If the brightness is set too low (< 25), the channel may produce an error.
Brightness adjustment¶
To adjust the brightness there is an option – Dimming direction.
There are only two values for the dimming direction:
- minimize (reduce brightness to the set value)
- maximize (increase brightness to the set value)
Coding example¶
We want the fog lights to flash along with the high beams.
- Find the required headlights: Leuchte12NL LB45 for the left side and Leuchte13NL RB5 for the right.
- Find a free group of lighting functions. In our case this is CD
- Set the functions for the left headlight:
Lichtfunktion C 12: Lichthupe generell (enabled when flashing high beam)
Dimming direction CD 12: maximum (brightness increase)
Dimmwert CD 12: 0 → 100
```
4. Set the functions for the right headlight:
Dimming direction CD 13: maximum (brightness increase)
Dimmwert CD 13: 0 → 100
```
Basic headlight calibration¶
Carried out when there is a hanging AFS error. The engine must be running and the headlights must be on.
Block 4B → Basic settings (04)
Basic headlight installation (002) → Read
We take the steering wheel with our hands, turn the steering wheel to the left until it stops and hold the steering wheel in this position 3c.
Turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops and hold the same 3 seconds. then put the steering wheel straight, wait 3s → Save
Basic installation confirmation (003) → Apply
