It can be turned off but I’ve had a couple where it still throws a fault and the bulbs don’t work. Best bet is to find vw canbus Friendly bulbs

Only thing about the canbus sidelights is there awful looking imo I prefer the osram sidelights that I have bought but could end up going canbus to save any hassle.
Yea he is using the windows program, if your stuck I still have my VCDS program and cable
Cheers mate. Will see what I can sort.

I vaguely remember it being listed on OBD Eleven... I should be able to do it there if you are stuck.

Some cars it worked solely with switching cold diagnosis, others needed to use VCP to edit the eeprom of the bcm to switch all the bulb monitor off.
