Yeah Hi. See x119 already beat me to it ;-). Aux lights can be enabled. We would need to find....where is the output for those aux lights, to hook up to. But we can probably find that out.

That’s awesome! Can this also be used to disable bulb error check functions? Had to get creative to eliminate the error messages after installing LED arrays into the reverse and rearfog lamp sockets, car is really picky.

I would assume it is some fuse/relay in the under hood power center, but cool stuff for sure.

Have ye any idea where the output for the auxiliary lights is? I don't have vida access at the moment but if anyone does could you look at the auxiliary lights wiring diagram?
You would need a vin with that option, no?
Vida shows the diagram for the VIN entered afaik

Ah right OK. It will on show wiring specific to my car which doesn't have aux lights of course.

I'll use Orbit to enable auxiliary lights later on and see where that leaves me. If it shows up a new button, and/or extra options in the car's settings, in sensus I'll start chasing blank fuses. None of the named fuses in the car's manual are listed for auxiliary lights but there are actually more blank fuses than named fuses.

I don't remember but you can unfilter the parts list in vida but I don't recall if you can unfilter the wiring diagrams (don't think so).

Maybe an car with these lights in Europe for sale and we find the VIN

This seems to be an additional harness to work with our cars but no info on installation

I found a fellow on Reddit who knew of this...I'll find the link. I was a little disappointed it seems to be an output from the CEM, I had hoped it was some sort of fused circuit under the hood that you could either run lights or run a relay but it seems you have to run the wiring to activate under the hood yourself.

Here is the thread he referenced (will need translation from Swedish): Extraljus inkoppling xc60 2019 - Sida 6 - Sveriges Volvoforum

Fantastic!! Exactly what I needed! Thanks a million for sharing that. I hadn't come across that in all my searching.

A fused circuit already in place would have been great and was what I was half expecting. But this is a good third place option. First place would, of course, have been a full loom with a ready-to-use plug hanging inside the front bumper waiting to be connected 😁

I had to go though something similar to enable heated mirrors on my van. Citroën had fitted the whole circuit up to the BSI (CEM) and had even fitted mirror glasses with heating elements but whoever ordered the van new hadn't paid the few hundred quid for the extra 2 metres of wire to join the BSI to the mirror heaters. They had even fitted the switch to activate the relay but had put a blank cover over it. Once I uncovered the switch I could hear the relay clicking. Then it was just a matter of finding which BSI outputs were powered by it.

I tried reading that (with auto translation on) and DANG, this looks like a hoot!

And if people aren't interest in extra front lights they could use this function to turn on rear mounted auxiliary lights to use when reversing.
In that swedish thread the operation is explained, it's meant specifically for aux headlights. When the auxiliary light is "on" via the virtual button in Sensus, the aux light output from the CEM is grounded only when the high beams are engaged. I have the adaptive beams enabled on my car...they don't talk about that I wonder what the operation is along with those.

I do have additional reverse lights, little LED floods, to improve the rear camera view at night, they are simply wired to the reverse light circuit so they activate in reverse.

So do the NA spec cars have the full adaptive headlights, just disabled by software, or are they just ABL and active high beams? I always thought they didn’t bother including the hardware in NA.

The results so far indicate the functionality is present in all of the full LED headlights, "bendy" and "non-bendy". The config of US cars is set to AHB1 (auto high-beam) which is binary high/low only operation. I've set my car (2019 S60, full LED but non-bendy type) to AHB2 Adaptive Beams, and it works. I don't know whether the bendy type might have better overall function with AHB2, but I like it. You can see it uses a combination of what I think are the 4 different light elements of each headlight independently as well as the up/down leveling adjustment, to change the beam around to shade out areas of other cars oncoming or that you are following.

Wow. Probably not as effective or fast as full matrix pixel lights, but still should be 100% better then what we got.

I’m totally gonna have to try this.
