Default Different look for your Tail Lights

Guys / Gals

Just recently got a set of Euro Tail Lights for my 2015 Q5. They look really sweet however my wife didn't want them on hers. So my son and I thought about making the OEM spec tail lights work light the Euro tail lights do. After getting the Euro programming from TTG. We tried a few combos and got it to work right.

What the Euro lights look like with the Amber Blinkers.




Normal US Spec Lights work as 1 unit...not independently.





After programming her Q5.

Blinkers





Brake Lights






This is how I accomplished this....

VCDS

Comfort module [46]
1.) Enter the security first
- security code: 16017

2.) Adaption [10]

Channel # – US Spec Codes – ROW Codes
channel: 195 – 51206 – 5
channel:196 – 51238 – 37
channel:197 –51206 – 12
channel:198 – 51238 – 44

Make sure you press TEST after changing each value than SAVE.

Like I said we got this idea from installing the Euro Style lights on my Q5. I want to make sure I give credit to TTG without his thread on Euro lights, I would of never had done this. Want to thank my son (Tyler) for coming up with doing this to my wife's lights and helping play with the codes to get the right combination.

Sorry forgot to tell you I did the Rear DRL lights before I started this. So the LED red frames are on all the time.

As pictured.

Not exactly sure what your asking for?

Are you looking for a video of what happens (brake lights and blinkers) before and after the Mod?

Right...it would be nice for anyone (new or old) to see the before light-show and the after mod appearance. Just for reference of operation.
