Its a very comont thing with all the VAG car around this year. I bet the car was very hot or had been in the sun for a bit. When it cold it will come back to being brights agane. i was toled that its somthing to do with the PCD bord and when it gets hot the conection come away a little and thus making it look dull :(

I recently bought a Audi and I'm having the same problem. The heat use to affect my MK4 but on the Audi the temperature seams to make no difference, its constantly dull.
