The fog lights and the cornering lights (and bulbs) are one in the same...

I had a look at activating cornering lights on vag com, when I did it the cluster threw a bulb fail light which leads me to believe that there's something missing hardware related.

I have two lights: one - to the outside of the front skirt are the daylight driving lights. Inside these are the fog lights cum turning lights.

The turning lights only work when the headlights are on and are activated by the turn signal or turning the steering wheel. The daylight driving lights are deactivated when the sidelights or headlights are on...

Reckon this will be easy to retrofit? i'd be interested in getting this.

I reckon so. Would need to see the part numbers on EKTA but when looking at my foglamps it seems you'd have to replace the whole foglamp with one with the 2 bulbs.

Tip for prospective owners... Pay the £35 for this! You can always turn it off with vagcom, but you can't just turn it on like you could with earlier cars that only used the foglamp bulb.

I wouldn't worry about not having the turning lights- I find them a waste of time - they rarely if every help visability.

If you live up a long, un-made winding road and drive up and down in the dark a lot, your opinion may differ...
