ECU AND FOG LIGHT QUESTION

Hey guys two quick questions.

1. If i replace my ecu with a used one that has about 120km, will i simply just need to replace it or do I have to do the idle relearn as well?

2. Checked this fog lights on ebay, would you recommend them, is it direct oem replacement?
I dont wanna order them and get a these small fog lights.

Thanks in advance.

Not only will you need the idle learn process, you must have the ecu programmed to recognize your keys before you could even start the car.

Sure, but Consult 2 is required, or some professional locksmiths have the capability.

You're not understanding. A diagnostic tool called Consult 2 is required to do this procedure. You don't have the tool. Dealers and some locksmiths can do this for you ONLY.

Good find! Those look pretty much dead on.

I wonder if the 5.5 gen lights on this site are glass or plastic.
