F15 FRONT fog coding issue

I coded VLD and Anti-dazzle a few years back on my F15 (obviously with full LED headlights) and recently noticed that I can’t turn on my fog lights. The lights work—they come on in reverse, I have them coded on when I unlock (welcome feature) and they work as cornering lights. But for whatever reason, I can’t seem to turn them on with the fog light button (with the headlamps switch on any position).

Anyone happen to know where I might have messed up the coding in Bimmercode?

Also I am about to receive the Euro light switch with rear fog light button and will be coding that soon as well.

Thanks so much for your time in advance.

Since by default, the fog lights and high beams can’t be on at the same time. Could this be the coding paradox you’re in? If you have Anti-Dazzle initiated…that means your high beams are on (as in standby), right?

Check your fog light coding to see if you have them activated to be on when your high beams are on, too. If memory serves correct, the coding parameters read weird…it almost reads like the opposite of what you want…if you want fogs & high beams on at the same time.

EDIT:

See coding circled in red below…make sure you have NOT ACTIVE selected for this parameter…which means the reverse…fog lights can be turned on with high beams.

Thank you very much for your time and quick response! I’ll give that a try—haven’t had time to yet…

I do know that the Anti-Dazzle is activated using the automatic high beam button for the auto high beams we get in the US. So I don’t think they are “active” all the time but that gives me a place to start!
