i know with a little coding you can change some other vag models to have USA sidelights where front amber indicators double as sidelights.

got a rough idea of what im looking for but which control module manages the sidelights?

maybe this isnt even possible but figured id have a play around and try it
 
Would think what you are proposing is technically illegal in the UK. On the C6 the US spec cars actually have the amber sidelight markers int he bumper rather than using the indicator so it would need extra lighting and wiring rather than being simply a programming feature
 
I have seen photos of it done using the indicators so it must be possible.

Not fussed on the legality of it, generally keep vcds cable and laptop in the car so if the old bill have an issue i can easily remove it

Maybe a model year or even whether you have an s-line or standard bumper as you will see the above photo clearly shows the amber lights in the bumper. Also the photo of the black avant looks like an after market bumper as it has no foglights or number plate mount across the grill area. There may have been some rewiring. Have you tried changing the car in VCDS to say it a US car? I know that if you change it Scandinavian it turns the rear lights on with the DRLs. Not sure what else would happen if you did change it to a US car though
