Chinese automatic headlight switch

[Nikonite]

I decided to risk the auto headlamp switch even though I saw a post saying the mk5 golf one didn't fit.Got mine today, 10 minutes to fit, works a treat

[softscoop]

Do you know if that would work with the light sensor in the glass as per the standard switch, or does it have its own light sensor?

Arh that is good to know.  I don't have auto headlights, but I need to add a switch which supports front and rear fogs.

[Nikonite]

Has its own light sensor, seems to have some wierd modes though. Instructions are terrible. Just trying to work them out. I needed the fogs position too so ideal for me.

No idea mate sorry, it does take the standard connection direct to switch though.the light sensor sits between the switch and car loom.

Where does the light sensor get mounted?  Where did you source it from?  I might treat myself....

[alberg]

I got one also.

Only for cars with light sensor. The green at night very similar to original.

Trying to do window switch with crome tips from golf.

[Nikonite]

Light sensor goes up the A pillar next to screen, very discreet

Does it not quite fit properly or is it just the photo?

 

And green illumination or VW red?

[Nikonite]

it wnt in fine but I had the very basic switch with full surround (no fogs) so small gap at the top. Not checked the colour yet am in the middle of something at home. Will post back later

So if I have fogs do I have a different surround? Guess I'll have to go outside and look!

 

Actually I've assumed that the illumination is Green on mine, but don't actually know.

[Nikonite]

I'm not sure but i had the very basic switch before. What you can see there is actually the trim around it and the angle doesn't help. The colours seem to be orange and green with different sections different colours, hard to see in the bright sun. Not 100% but i think it does coming / leaving home too! The instructions are below, I have seen better I will be honest !

 

 

 

Press the switch in "0 position" will switch to the 0 position

Firmly press and turn it clockwise to hear the sound out gently pulled out.

While clockwise rotation switch, hear the sound, pull out the can.

 Days high light sensor photosensitive head insert, then on both ends of the receipt of the automatic switch and body harness, the interface to        be fixed.

 Leads to a sense of light head.

 

 

​Fortunately step five didn't apply, I feel fine...not at all light headed!

Any links for these?

How's the green leds compare between this and skoda green?

I'll take a picture of lights later, its hard to see its too bright outside sorry

[Nikonite]

Ok the auto is orange, to the right of auto is green the rest are red. I'm sure they can be swapped out inside for green but doesn't worry me. Just started car on auto, no lights until car is running, then on they came. Turned off with ignition off but sidelights stayed on for 30 seconds or so after locking the door

[phil5556]

Shame it doesn't quite fit, sounds ideal otherwise.

 

I might get excited one day and see if I can swap the trim over from another switch (and change the illumination colour at the same time).

Alberg - is that a Chinese jobbie? Or does an OEM auto switch work with the eBay controller box?

[alberg]

Chinese jobie. Works perfect, fits perfect and the green almost like original (80%)

[Nikonite]

Had some crackers myself.

Did they tell your fortune

[Phil-E]

That's a very neat solution to get auto lights without the rain/light sensor.

 

How much did it cost?

 

Did you get a "free gift" too

I got a good deal as it was an auction, £10 + £6 P+P, no free gift though! I have a rather large collection of waving cat keyrings already though lol. 

I have on order a total of 17 items from China, got my new style front badge yesterday...not sure I could tell it from factory, cost me £6

Will this work with the coming and going lights ?

 

Iv been looking at this one for a while just need to know if the VCDS can be programmed to do the coming and going lights?
