Auto headlights (after market)
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with the after market Chinese auto headlight sensor and module
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/251555972840?fits=Car+Make%3AVW
I want to pick one up as I can't be fussed with oem hacking and slicing bcm wiring and installation seems to look easy on this one, not to mention is adds ch/lh lights!
I have heard horror stories that the switch doesn't illuminate in the dark? Opinions please!

Will the switch laminate as usual at night?

they're coming home and leaving home lights
really the headlights turn on when you unlock and lock the door for a set period of time from anywhere from 10 seconds to i think 30 seconds

Re: Auto headlights (after market)
Ah yes, I get it now.
Re: Auto headlights (after market)
I've read quite a few threads on these. Can anyone clarify what additional wiring etc needs to be done. I'm guessing it's not as simple as plug and play. Some threads mention wiring into the BCM module, others installing relays. Then recoding through vcds
Are there different versions of these some easier to install than others.

Re: Auto headlights (after market)
Yes please tell us which one you ordered, they look fairly simple. module sits between light switch and cable connector, light sensors sit behind a pillar trim.
Only thing is you don't want to cheap out on it because some people report their auto light switch not lighting up at night (no red illumination on dial)

So no reprogramming of systems required or additional wiring into BCM etc, just plug and play
