Install Auto Headlight

[bleari]

Hi Everyone, 

I have been looking at upgrading my lights to automatic. I took out the lightswitch and found the connector pictured below. The problem is i cant seem to find any retrofit connectors like this or even any pictures or videos detailing it with this type? Does anyone know of anywhere i can find this information or even somewhere i can buy the switch? Thanks!

Look for Polo 6R or VW T5GP Transporter as they use the same type as yours

There are two kind of modules...

First - you need to buy an automatic lights switch module and light switch for it

Second - just light switch with module in it

Cheers! Bought this switch in the end: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUTO-Headlight-Switch-Sensor-Module-Bluetooth-For-VW-Golf-MK4-Jetta-4-Passat-B5/163620007846?fits=Car+Make%3AVW|Model%3AGolf|Plat_Gen%3AMK+IV&hash=item2618832fa6:g:dr4AAOSwnBJasMFt

 

The on off seems to work pretty well and was easy to install. The app i eventually found as incase anyone has the same issue is called "CFA Light".

 

My only issue with it is the coming/leaving home functions won't work. Does anyone know if this is a change that coding is required? I can see using Carista that coming home is already enabled. Am I missing something or could it just not work with the rapid?

Thanks!

Would now not recommend doing this, it has drained my battery. Took the switch out now all the configurations are now broken, the fog, side and tail lights don't work and neither do the internal lights.

I have experienced the same problem. My right front led light and blinker doesn’t work .. Did you fix the configuration and how if so?

The same thing happened to me as to you.  In my case the problem is that a 5A fuse has blown.  Have you somehow managed to get these automatic lights to work?  They work fine for me until I close the car and open it again.  From then on it doesn't work anymore.

I'm revising this thread, because I'm still interested in having automatic lights. When this problem occurred, I did check with VDCS and something could be configured. Maybe it's possible to configure something to make it work?
