You would be better posting this in the MK7 section.

I have a 2019 model and I don't know! They light up and I can see where I'm going, not really given it much thought :laugh:

Mine is a 19 plate PP, UK spec and it has it.
The headlight switch has to be in the auto position for it to work, and you have to be going faster than roughly 40mph I think.
Its pure witchcraft the first time you use it!

Still no luck . Perhaps I physically don’t have it on car. , can’t see it on settings menu .. only automatically cornering lights

Thanks for your help anyway

I seem to remember by 2019 they had deleted the old fashioned Mk7 "high beam assist" from the options list and only the full dynamic light system was available (and expensive!)

Current: Mk8 GTI DSG, Adelaides, DCC, HUD, HK, Winter Pack, Rear Camera.. Aka "HMS Weasel"

Gone: 2017 Mk7.5 GTD,manual, NavPro

Yes, sorry its Dynamic Light assist on the 2019 PP GTI's
This February 2019 UK brochure shows its standard equipment on the GTI PP. High beam assist was still an option on other models though. Its on page 40.
