I take it the headlight switch is on Auto?

Also to activate the coming home lights, you need to flash the headlights after turning the ignition off. They will come on when you open the drivers door. You can code them to stay on automatically with VCDS which is a must do mod.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Does this have to be coded from VCDS? I do have the function on my MFD and an Auto light switch as standard but I have non genuine Xenon's fitted, would this matter?

When I unlock the car in the evening time when its dark the strip sidelights will come on and the main beams will come on for a fraction of a second and then turn off, anyone have any ideas? Only bought the car last week so trying to work out the snags.

Thanks

Probably the coding.
I think there is a couple of options. I set mine to use the foglights instead of the xenons years ago.
