Hello and welcome! This issue was common on the MK2 facelift with cheap aftermarket HID kits fitted. Usually this issue is caused by the HID kit causing the BCM/CECM to become faulty. Not sure what exactly does it, perhaps a voltage spike or something.

 

If this is indeed the issue, it won't be a cheap fix im afraid. Modern cars are just way too complex to risk cheap HID kits - plus the beam pattern and glare is terrible anyway, especially in reflector units.

 

Have you had the car scanned for fault codes? I'd expect something in the 09 - Central Electrics module.
