I was thinking of retrofitting this switch into my car, the switch
Im thinking of is on ebay.
-
The Chinese make everything so I should think it would work but probably not the same quality as what is fitted to your mark 6
-
Im gonna take a chance on it, was just curious to know
If the coming home lights function will work.
-
The coming home function isn't great on the mk6 anyway, you have to flash your main beam before getting out of the car, i'm sure it can be coded to work like the mk5 did but i don't know the coding. What car is it you've got?
-
Mk6 golf gt tdi 09, ive coded car at the moment for
Flashing the lights for the coming home etc, but fancied
This coz it can allegedly do it automatically ;)
-
I don't think the switch will make it do it automatically mate, like i said the GTI has that type of switch standard and doesn't do it, hasn't your GT got auto lights as standard?
-
Nah m8, it didnt come with auto light switch :(
-
Makes sense to me now.I assumed you had a mk6 GTI.
-
Nah m8, it didnt come with auto light switch :(
So you haven't got the light sensor then? In which case the auto lights won't work at all. :huh:
You'll need something like this.

A few people have fitted these to B5.5 Passats. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-AUTO-HEADLIGHT-SENSOR-AND-SWITCH-FOR-GOLF-MK4-/321090663058?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AVW&hash=item4ac27eb292&clk_rvr_id=461419140669&afsrc=1
It gives you full auto operation as well as coming / leaving home functions

Thats pretty cool :cool:
*looks for Audi version......*

That does look like the answer for me :)
