Auto lights

Did any 9n3 come with auto headlights?

I have the light sensor on the windscreen and was wondering if a retrofit could be done by getting the correct switch and some vcds coding?

Is that the light sensor for the dimming mirror only or do you have auto wipers as well? If it's only the mirror then I always thought that it was a sensor built into the mirror only to have it dim properly, as in not connected to the rest of the car?

As a side note, does your car have this hatched area above the mirror? I'm toying with the idea of retro-fitting the auto-dimming one and trying to work out what's required...

Do passat/golf/jetty light switches fit the polo size wise?

Sorry for the hijack here but, how do you know if you have auto wipers/lights?

The car I am getting next week seems to have all the bells and whistles but the garage didn't mention lights/wipers ... but then again they didn't mention the headlight washers or cruise control either!

If you have auto lights the switch for them should have 4 settings instead of the usual 3 and one is called auto for them, wipers you'll have that dotted area on the windscreen and put the wiper switch thing up one and that's them on automatic
