Hello all. I installed Euro Tails (including harness from ECS) on my 2015 GTI SE today with success. Amber turn signals work perfectly. I also installed the euro headlight switch, however, they do not operate my fog lights whatsoever. Neither rear or front fogs operate with the euro switch. When I reinstalled the OE (i.e. non-euro) headlight switch, the front fogs work again. Any suggestions? Did I miss something in OBD11 or did I maybe get a dud switch? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a dud switch. Do your rear fogs on the euro switch work?

Did you change any coding for the light switch? If not try the following:
Rear fogs with Euro Switch do NOT work. Front fogs don't either.
I have done this coding. Please see attached screenshot for the byte in question.

Update and bump: I can't pull the switch out in the auto setting to trigger the fogs w/DRL function the euro switches are supposed to be capable of. I'm starting to really think this switch is junk and I need a refund from ECS. Just would like to get some more opinions before I call.
Sorry to come in a bit off topic, but I have been curious to know what exactly the Euro switch is supposed to do. I have an S so Halogen headlights. I swapped Red LED's for the DRL's. But of course when I turn the headlights on, the Red LED's stay on. Would the Euro switch change that you think?

Sounds like you need to take the red lights off the front of your car. That's just unsafe

Not to mention illegal
Most of the articles/threads I've read use LP GTIs as examples, so I can't speak to how the halogen lights work with the switch. I'd imagine that the DRLs can be coded using OBD11 to turn off when the lights come on, but I don't think they will do so without coding. If thats the case, a euroswitch will not do what you want as a stand-alone item. I may be wrong.
