Yes, but can you change (extend) the length of time for these lights, please?

Yes, via the Highline (which you don't have), via VAGCOM, or the stealer can also do it.

And you set different times for each setting (ie the "unlock" lights can be set at a different time to the "lock and park up for the night" lights).

I thought they where the walk me home lights (which is what im talking about). synnea said he turned his coming home option off (which to my understnading is when you get out the car and lock it the lights stay on for x amount of time) but left the leaving home on. Not sure what the latter is.

Im getting myself confused.

  
comming home lights is the function were you leave the light switch in auto position and it keeps the light on for x amount of time when you get out and lock the door
(if you dont want this to happen simply turn the light switch to off )

leaving home lights are simply activated when you unlock the car, this cannot be turned off even with the light switch left in off/non-auto position.

unless u have a vagcom i assume.

It can.  Just set the time to zero, via Highline/vagcom/VAS505*

i thought they were called 'follow me home' lights.  as thats what comes up on my range rover.

People always tell me to turn them off, i just say 'theyl go off' simple  or an even easier way is to just turn them off when you get out, like any older car

I think different car makers call them slightly different things for essentially the same function.  In a similar vein to the electronic stability systems - VAG call it "Electronic Stability Programme", whereas BMW call it "Dynamic Stability Control", Vauxhall call it "ESPplus", and fcuk knows what tag Ford have given it these days.

I just give em a cocky clever quip - sommat like "it's a German car, German cars can do clever things, including turning off the lights" - that usually has them scurrying off into the undergrowth!       

But yeah, if you aint got highline, then a mate with VAGCOM, or a trip to the stealers can permanently turn them off.
