An electronic control unit (ECU) (108) is provided for controlling an auxiliary illumination system depending on a main illumination system of a vehicle. The ECU comprises a connector module (201) configured to implement a connection between the ECU (108) and a replaceable card (109) configured to receive one or more main digital signals from the main illumination system through a CAN bus. The ECU (108) further comprises a processor module (210) configured to read the received one or more main digital signals, and to generate one or more first auxiliary signals depending on said one or more main digital signals to control the auxiliary illumination system at least partially based on the generated one or more first auxiliary signals. A replaceable card (109) connectable with such an ECU (108), a method suitable to be performed by the ECU (108) with replaceable card (109), and a computer program suitable for performing such a method are also provided.
