    Bloody handy.
    actually they're both independant of each other.

    if u have cornerning foglights enabled, it will work based on steering input & speed below 40km/h - regardless of the indicator being on or not. provided low beams r activated.
    it doesn't care if the DRL dimming feature is enabled.

    same control modules for both, but no dependancy.

    I meant both cornering foglight tickboxes.
    There are two that The_Hawk and I found whilst exploring VCDS.
    2012 Octavia vRS TDI. Darkside big turbo, 3bar tune, other stuff. 200kW/650Nm.
    1990 Mk1 Cabrio. 1.9 IDI w/ 18PSI.
    1985 Mazda T3500 adventuremobile. 1973 Superbug. 1972 Volvo 144 in poo-brown.
    Not including hers...

    I know there's one somewhere.
    When you turn the indicator on, and slow down to under 40, the fog comes on.
    After changing my BCM, it doesn't do it anymore.

    I wanna get this changed. Might give the dealership a list, at the 15,000 service. Its coming up soon. :S

    so the springs were installed today - am happy with the finish. the ride & the look.
    eibach pro-kit (p/n: E10-79-004-02-22; Skoda p/n: ZGB1Z3071676)

    admittedly the front has dropped 30mm, while the rear has dropped 20mm, as expected.
    measurements (with full tank) from the ground to the top of the wheel arch:-
    before front: 680mm
    before rear: 690mm

    after front: 650mm
    after rear: 670mm

    maybe the rears r yet to settle in.

    here r some grainy iphone pics from inside my garage. i got home late, so no good pics.





    speakin of getting home late, i noticed my xenons need to be realigned. they're projecting much less. since the frontend has dropped 30mm, this changes the throw of the low beam distance.
    even the skoda accessories website states that headlights need to be realigned after fitting these.
    so now i gotta book it in with the dealer n get it done.

    here is a pic of the front self-levelling sensor. its on the passenger side. u can see it with the wheels turned to the right on full lock.
    notice how the arm is on an angle. thanks to the 30mm lower ride height up front, the sensor arm is compressed/bent more than its usual postion.
    the rear sensor arm is not compressed as much because it was a 20mm drop.
    but because there was already a 10mm difference between front & back before lowering, the end result is a 20mm difference between the two now. making the sensors think the front of the car is constantly on a "20mm" high speed hump.



    if the dealers can't realign the headlight the conventional way, the only other option would be to pop the arm off, and shorten it.
