Fascinating! I've played with VW's BCM stuff, but for some reason everything except the lighting is translated into English on the common factory equivalent scan tools, so it's a matter of sorting though a bunch of "lichtfunktion" this and "dimmwert" that. > We can get 98% of the light output with 85% of the required wire. I guess a 12v bulb can survive a much higher voltage than it's rated for (which needs fewer amps for the same watts, so thinner wire) if it's pulsed, like 120v assuming 10% duty cycle, as long as the frequency is dialed in such that the filament is just about ramped up to its rated temperature when power is cut. Very clever!
