LED Lights - The down side...

[JoeGTI]

^^^ Really?  Surely there is no need for that. The main reason brake lights come on is to warn users behind that you are slowing or stopped but once stopped there is no need.

You sure you haven't got a faulty sensor? 

Yes, that's the way they work. If you have auto hold enabled.

Yeah that does sound a bit unnecessary, and damn annoying for drivers sat behind. Bugs the hell out of me when people in front of me do it (usually BMW owners, haha!!!)

If you have a DSG you'd have your foot on the break at lights anyway, it doesn't bother me tbh.

Me neither - apart from the current E Class which has an insane amount of rear LED's. Need shades at night

Don't see the issue with the brake lights being on to be honest. That's what happens when hill hold is on and I'd prefer to have it on than off

Who cares what the person behind thinks?! That's like saying I don't want to have a car with xenons as it might upset the person coming towards me

Xenons angled properly are hardly the same as sitting at lights staring at bright brake lights unnecessarily.

Don't sit behind me then as I always sit at the lights in gear with my brake lights on!!

the lights on my tiguan don't stay on when your using auto hold so can't see why its changed for the new golf. totally pointless if you ask me, lights on not auto hold
