Coding fog lights from RHD to LHD

Hi,

I've changed my taillights to LHD ones since I'm now in Spain, but since my car is RHD the fog light doesn't come on so I'm guessing I need to do some coding. (I have VCDS).

Does anyone know how I can do this or has anyone done this before? I found this guide but I don't have Leuchte-commands...

As far as the operation of the 2 x lamps is concerned- these are managed by Leuchte-commands. To swap the lamps, try this (in adaptation, in the BCM):

For the Reversing light - ONLY if ENG124888-ENG115497-Leuchte28RFL C3-Light_Function_A_28 has the value Rueckfahrlicht - change to NebelschlusslichtwennkeinAnhaengergestecktundRechtsverkehr
For the rear fog light - ONLY if ENG124886-ENG115459-Leuchte26NSL A65-Light_Function_A_26 has the value NebelschlusslichtwennkeinAnhaengergestecktundRechtsverkehr -change to Rueckfahrlicht
.

If this is the only way what do I have to do to get Leuchte-commands, swap BCM?

I think the wiring connectors are also different and the pin occupation too. Did you have a look at this?

I believe the guide you quoted is for a 6C polo ie facelift I’m guessing you’re car is a 6R polo which will have different architecture ie it has bytes and bits .

Not the same cars

Yeah I checked and the 6c and 6r BCMs are completely different.

I'll probably have to try mess around with the wiring in the taillights or take it into a garage, can't find any coding related to the fogs.
