You will have to modify the wiring. There is no way the light functions can be changed via software, unfortunately

I doubt there is a module for that. Is it the "Comfort" facelift bumper as fitted to the base, GT and R-line? It's worth doing a search on the forum as I am sure quite a few have done it before

There is a tutorial thread on fitting the facelift R bumper, which looks to be more complex, here:

https://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum ... p?p=202954

It's quite a long thread so you might find some info relevant to retrofitting the non-R facelift bumper there as well

yeah i read the thread when i decidet to do the retrofit but no info on how to turn the drl into indicators thats the problem and it also wasnt a problem withc conecting the the lights since the calbe are pretty much the same so i would suspect i would need to code the lights but i dont know where to find it
