No, there isn't. This is because each definition has a distinct behavior, ie, if you code as 04 the fogs stop being fogs to become agel eyes, if you code as 05 the fogs stop being fogs to become high-beams, and so on.
Basically, and unfortunately, they can only have one function, according to what we define.

If you want the fogs to stay on with parking lights, low-beams and high-beams, then code with option 01. However, they will not be on with angel eyes.
Note that in any option the fogs switch will not work, except if the code is 08.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. Fog lights now come on automatically with the headlights and I can still use the parking lights with the fogs on which I like running during the twilight hours. Don't really like running fogs with just the DRLs in broad daylight so option 1 was perfect for me.

I've been trying for a long time to find a way to code the fogs with two functions simultaneously, for example, turn on with the angel eyes and also with the high-beams.
It would be great if anyone had a solution to share it here.

what would happen if you code? as below:
FEM_BODY 3050 NSW_AUS_BEI_FL - nicht_aktiv (fog lights remain on with high beams)
and
FEM_BODY 3062 LceLampMapping2
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 03 (behave like low-beams)
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 03

will the fogs be on when low beams come on (in auto mode) and remain on when you turn on high beams?

Actually, I am not good at English, so I only wrote a part of the information I examined before.

The lighting method of the light is set to the following module.
FEM_BODY -> 3062 LceLampMapping1
FEM_BODY -> 3063 LceLampMapping2

There is a setting of "When", "Where", "Do" as the setting of the light, and before, it wrote only to change "When".


Look at the first item of "FEM_BODY -> 3062 LceLampMapping1".

When :
MAPPING_ABBLENDL_L_FUNCTION = abblendlicht:03 (Low Beam)
Where :
MAPPING_ABBLENDL_L_OUTPUT = al_l:01 (Low Beam L)
Do :
MAPPING_ABBLENDL_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 = 64 (100%)
MAPPING_ABBLENDL_L_FIXED_PWM = 01 (Fixd)

this is,
"Turning on the low beam switch lights the left side of the low beam at 100%"
It means.

I set the PDF setting of my car.
(I think that it is different from the setting of your car)


The part "ABBLENDL_L" named MAPPING_ABBLENDL_L_OUTPUT has no meaning.
You can set your own preferences by using items that are not used or items that you do not need.
There is no side marker on vehicles of Japan specification, so try setting it so that the fog lamp lights up at high beam.

MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FUNCTION = 05 (High Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_OUTPUT = 0B (Fog Lamp L)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 89 (13.7V)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FIXED_PWM = 00 (pwm)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PRIORITY = 03 (bottom priority)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FUNCTION = 05 (High Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_OUTPUT = 0C (Fog Lamp R)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 89 (13.7V)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FIXED_PWM = 00 (pwm)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_PRIORITY = 03 (bottom priority)
"_FIXED_PWM" is the setting of LED or light bulb,
It affects whether "voltage" or "%" is set to "PWM_LEVEL_1" or "PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD".


As before, the fog lamp lights up when the fog lamp is switched on.

The lighting method of the rear light is set to the following module.
REM -> 3062 LceLampMapping1
REM -> 3063 LceLampMapping2

In a car with a white body, I heard that the image of the camera is too bright at night's reverse.

MAPPING_UNIVERSAL_8_FUNCTION = 0F (Reverse)
MAPPING_UNIVERSAL_8_OUTPUT = 22 (Licence Light)
MAPPING_UNIVERSAL_8_PWM_LEVEL_1 = 0 (0%)
MAPPING_UNIVERSAL_8_FIXED_PWM = 01 (fixed)
MAPPING_UNIVERSAL_8_PRIORITY = 00 (To give top priority)

If set, I think that the license lamp will disappear at reverse and the camera will be easy to see.
(I have not tried it...)

I am sorry for my poor English.(I use translation software)

Thanks Takkey,
You've solved the riddle!
Now I can code the lights on all ways I could want.
You're the best!

By the way. Could you possibly know how to remove the delay on low-beams to go off when we leave a tunnel or a garage? My car takes about 2 minutes to do that!

Thnks,
XC

Does anyone know how to(code) disable the fog lights? I bought a new bumper without fog lights now I have the fog light out error.

Hi!
I have not tried it, but I think it is OK.

[Do not check the valve]
FEM_BODY->3061 LceLciOutputChannels
NSW_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_L_KURZSCHLUSS = nicht_aktiv
NSW_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG = nicht_aktiv
NSW_R_KURZSCHLUSS = nicht_aktiv

[Do not use Cornering Lamps]
FEM_BODY->3062 LceLampMapping1
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_OUTPUT = 00
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_OUTPUT = 00

[Do not light the Fog Lamp with the fog switch on]
FEM_BODY->3063 LceLampMapping2
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_OUTPUT = 00
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_OUTPUT = 00

Thank you Takkey !

I finally got what i was looking for! I kept the settings I had for turning the fog lights on with the angel eyes:
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 04
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 04
And added the following to turn the fog lights on with the low beams:
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FUNCTION = 03 (Low Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_OUTPUT = 0B (Fog Lamp L)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 89 (13.7V)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FIXED_PWM = 00 (pwm)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PRIORITY = 03 (bottom priority)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FUNCTION = 03 (Low Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_OUTPUT = 0C (Fog Lamp R)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 89 (13.7V)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FIXED_PWM = 00 (pwm)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_PRIORITY = 03 (bottom priority)
Finally got what I was looking for - the fog lights are on all the time whether the low beams are on or off. I can't easily turn them off, but thats fine, i went through all this trouble specifically to have them on all the time.

I also got this working. I have LED fog lights and coded them to come on with low beams. The switch still works but I cant use it to turn off fogs when low beams are active. I used the following settings:

MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FUNCTION = 03 (Low Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_OUTPUT = 0B (Fog Lamp L)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 64 (100%)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FIXED_PWM = 01 (fixed)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PRIORITY = 03 (bottom priority)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FUNCTION = 03 (Low Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_OUTPUT = 0C (Fog Lamp R)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 64 (100%)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FIXED_PWM = 01 (fixed)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_PRIORITY = 03 (bottom priority)

I'm not sure how i missed this the other night, but the parking lamps, or sidemarkers are off at night with the above settings. Unlike Takkey, the sidemarkers setting on US-market cars is active. I looked over the list and couldnt find any other unused light functionality to take over, until i realized that by having the fog lights on all the time, I don't need them to act as cornering lamps. So i repurposed the corning lamp functionality by coding them to turn on with the low beams and now i've finally got what i want:
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_FUNCTION = 03
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_FUNCTION = 03
I didnt have to change the OUTPUT or any other settings because the cornering lamps already turn on the fog lights!

I kept what i did before so the fog lights turn on with the DRLs:
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 04
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 04

I wonder if any of you know how to code the headlights so when they are in automatic mode they will immediately turn off after leaving a dark place, for example a garage or a tunnel, instead of taking about 2 minutes which is what happens, at least on the latest models.

Nope, newer FEM do this by default, a royal PITA, not sure why they've coded it like this?

Reducing the sensivity is a different thing. That only defines the level of brightness at which the lights turn on or off. I'm talking about the delay they remain ON after leaving a dark place.
The dashboard numbers changes from orange to white ante vice-versa works fine. When I leave a dark place the letters and numbers change immediatly to white, however the headlights remain On for about 2 minutes.

Do this:

MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FUNCTION = 05 (High Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_OUTPUT = 0B (Fog Lamp L)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 89 (13.7V)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FIXED_PWM = 00 (pwm)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_PRIORITY = 03 (bottom priority)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FUNCTION = 05 (High Beam)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_OUTPUT = 0C (Fog Lamp R)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_PWM_LEVEL_STANDARD = 89 (13.7V)
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FIXED_PWM = 00 (pwm)

Afaik isnt possible, to get the rear fogs activated at least the headlights must me activated by switching them to AUTO or ON. Stand alone rear fogs are not foreseen and I dont know a way to override the power layout with codings.
