Rear sidelights - NCS Coding help

Post by Gazbills » Wed Sep 08, 2021 2:54 pm

Hi guys,

Had some success with NCS Expert enabling the front DRL's (utilising dimmed indicators) on my 2005 E85 but not the rear side lights. I've checked DRL_BLK_VORNE2_GEDIMMT along with trying the USA sidemarker setting and obviously the Europe DRL setting to no avail.

Anyone had any joys with this?

Thanks,
Gareth

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Pre or post facelift? Halogen or Xenon?

Pre facelift with xenon but it’s the rear side lights I want on, on ignition.

With DRL? You're going to have to get much more specific about exactly what you want - coding needs that level of detail.

FL_DRL_MIT_RL should turn on rear but FL is front high beam so might need other options.

PO_ALS_DRL just does sidelights for Halogen (with ignition only, regardless of switch).

I'd try the other options, I *think* that should be an MOT fail.
