Do all MK5 GTis have Autolights?
« on: 08 July 2010, 14:40 »
As the title - my last 2008 57 plate 3dr had auto-lights, but I'm not sure the new one I'm buying, a 2006 56 plate 5dr has them.  :huh:

TBH I didn't really concentrate on the light, but I thought they were std GTi spec?

Standard and next to useless.  That is all.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

I used the auto lights on my last GTi all the time and they were great.

Is this the auto light switch?:



I can't remember from my 2008 3dr, I thought it said AUTO on the switch - but this pic is the same as the on in the 5dr GTi I'm buying.

Yes it is. The 12 o'clock position being the auto setting.

From 2008 MY the sign changed from a tunnel symbol to the word 'Auto'. Easiest way to check is for either of these symbols or the rain sensor on the windscreen.

I like them very much.
What I don't like is the lights coming on and staying on when you drive fast.
