    Does any one know if you can vagcom so when you put your turn signal on to get the Cornering lights come on at any speed. I noticed they only work at 20 mph or less. I would like to have them come on at a faster speed. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

    Exactly how fast do you take corners or turn into driveways or parking spaces?

    well mostly would like them to light up on the high way when I change lanes or go around curves at night, and to answer you question fast enough to make the "car doing a burn out" light to come on

    The answer is NO.

    It cannot be done.

    That is why the OEM HIDs have headlights that turn with the curves. Funky little cornering lights would not help at highway speeds.

    I have these HIDs on my CC and Eos. The turning headlights are fantastic on very dark nights. I also have the cornering lights on both cars and they would be useless at higher speeds.

    Aren't the cornering lights just the foglight on one side coming on automatically?

    If so, there is one sure fire method to do what you want. Just turn your foglights on all the time, and you will have the cornering lights illuminated at all speeds.

    No, they aren't just the fogs coming on. They are a separate bulb in the headlight housing.

    Yep, just like VdubTX said. Cornering lights are a completly different and independent lighting system from stock.

    In addition to my CC, and Eos, a car from my past (78 Lincoln Town Car) also had them.

    They are great when making sharp turns in very dark areas, at slow speeds.

    Thanks; only had my 2012 CC a couple months, so I am still trying to figure out it's features vs. my 2007 Passat.

    Ya it is a great feature I found out about after I bought my CC. I just love my v dub don't think I would go back to any other brand after this car. I'm going to keep it till the wheels fall off.
