Light Assist with Halogen Lights

[nibose]

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to explore the possibility of configuring/coding Light Assist/HBA on my Golf Comfortline which comes with halogen headlamps. It does have the DA package though. Currently I can see "light assist during rain" as an option.

Any thoughts?

You might get High beam assist(Auto dimming) but dont think you can get DLA with halogens

Hi Hillbilly... Always to the rescue!

I meant Light Assist (HBA). I'm aware DLA works only with the LED headlamps & AFS.

What would be the coding for LA/HBA? I've seen several codings available but they mention to select bi-xenon with shutters installed & I dont have xenon headlamps but halogens

[Hillbilly]

What are you using to code it There is an App in OBDeleven to do it that seems to work

Hi,

I'm using VCDS to perform the coding.

Here's the sample coding: Finally Got High Beam Assist (Light Assist) Working - GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum

nibose: Not sure that I really understand what you are asking -but you may be referring to AFS, (Advanced Frontlighting System)-dynamic cornering light. High bean Assist - which is the system whereby the front facing camera detects an on-oncoming vehicle and then modulates the high-beam function needs special equipment (a front facing camera for starters).

Even true AFS is not possible with standard OEM Halogen fittings - this is only possible with some HID assemblies. But - it is possible to implement a form of ASF called Static AFS with Halogen fittings. But you need front fog lights - does your car have these?

Static AFS is where the fog light on the side of the car where it's turning is switched-on. Is this what you mean?

THat seems to be a Canadian site May not work here but look familiar


Gor here and look for the HBA coding in Mk7 guides

I'm asking for High-Beam-Assist or Light-Assist, NOT Dynamic-Light-Assist.

My headlamps are halogens and there's no AFS. I do not intend to have AFS either for that's not possible with the current setup.

@ HillBilly: I cant seem to find HBA coding in the link

[Ozsko]

It might short cut things if we forget the acronyms, what do you want to do, is it dipping the lights automatically depending on the traffic conditions?

[Hillbilly]

HBA is auto dimming when on coming traffic

DLA is when the LED lights part to put a car in front or oncoming in a dark spot but stay on high beam


Its in this link but dont know if it works for your model as thats the Tiguan list but it worked for me
