Footwell lights

Currently my footwell lights only come on with the dome lights when a door is opened.... is there a way to re-code them to be ambient lights with the headlights?

i second this. had this setting on my GTI and was able to use color LED with low brightness to give the car a nice glow inside. would be cool to see if anyone has done this.

Thirds.
I actually contacted the Carly folks and they said it is not possible with their coding.
Did not explain why.
I still have faith that someone out there can!
Would be super useful to find stuff at night, like your water bottle that won't fit in the doors or stupid cupholders.
When stopped at a red light of course.

As far as i know, this isn't possible with coding. This is because when we code vehicles, we more or less turn a function on or off that is already available.

But, i this should be able to be achieved with some sort of relay and some basic wiring.
