Fix for headlights not turning on ...!

On occasion , my headlights just would not turn on, but turning the ignition off, then on again would fix the issue;
But I seem to have fixed it permanently by using NCS Expert to disable the feature whereby the headlights switch off whilst starting the engine (which is a good idea),
in the LCM module - ABSCHALT_KL50 to not enabled, and it's been working for over a year,

I was actually looking for a way to code my fog-lights to remember to come on when I put my headlights on, but I can't see a way...

I've actually had a few people ask me about NCS Expert and coding,
Here is a quick video to get the general idea- no fluff!

There is also a line to code that enables the LCM to try again to start if lights fail to turn on.

I am pretty sure you can get your fog lights to come on with headlights as well but you might have to some changes with the country specific coding.

I have factory halogens.
