auto-on headlamps

Morning all, As I have a T6.1 startline I'm looking to Retrofit auto lights and wipers. I know there are issues with just changing the auto light switch with errors on the unit. I have been looking around and found this as a possible solution anyone else used it or got a similar solution ...

My 4Motion has Auto Wipers and auto dimming rear view mirror, but has a standard light switch. I'd like to retrofit auto headlights but do it as OE as possible. Because I have the rain sensor etc, I'm assuming that this should be fairly straight forward yet I cannot find any detail on this. Does...

Hello, my headlights always come on when I unlock the vehicle. I find this not good when trying to stealth camp. Is it possible to disable this somehow? Also I would like to prevent the wing mirrors auto folding in and out when locking and unlocking. Could anyone help?

Iv recently installed the auto headlight module to my t5.1, battery went flat this afternoon and when I open the door it beeps as if Iv left the lights on. Any ideas what the problem is? Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks in Advance

Hi, Am nearing completion of a t5.1 to t6.1 facelift. All going well but unsure how the new headlights are ment to work, in imagine not like mine are currently. I have attached photos of the light switch and then photos of the bulb that’s lit up for reference. Am I right in thinking the...

Hi, I have an aftermarket auto head light switch (travlin lite) on my T6, up until now when dark the lights come on with unlock, but last couple of nights the lights have not come on with unlock? Had this sometimes (randomly) with my t5 too, but ignored it, just wondered if this was a random...

any of you new 6.1 Owners had any issues with Automatic Headlight Fault on dash. 1st world problem i know, but it means there are no parking/get home lights etc. now booked in again after VW couldnt diagnose anything, they need to strip the headlights out they say other than that, happy enough

Hi all, was just a wondering in these early hours. Sometimes when I lock the van with fob it locks the doors all the lights dim and go off but the hazard switch is illuminated. Some days it does it some it doesn't. All doors are locked I go around each one and unlock and lock and wait. Then it...

Hi I was wondering if any one can recommend some where in or around north London for fitting auto head lights to my 6.1 ( as factory as possible) and also would like have coming home function if it’s possible Many thanks

So I’m told the H7 headlights can be VCDS coded out at unlock and swapped to the standard DRL lights but the H4 headlights can’t? Is that right? How do we change them over so the headlights just stay off and the DRLS operate on unlock? Cheers

Hi all, I know this can be done cheaply on T6's with a kit from ebay but does anyone know how to do it on a T6.1? Would like to add front fogs eventually too if that's possible. Thanks in advance

Greetings, I purchased a golf mk6 auto headlight switch (small connector). Arrived in 24hrs and fitted perfectly, ran sensor under a pillar trim and is a neat look. All functions work out of the box - no need for a £55 one from Transporter specialists. DRLs are on, sidelights added at dusk...

on my Cali, T6, the lights on the dashboard turn on only when I put the low beam, with the lights position no, who knows' why ....... there is some other way to turn them on? regards

On my T6 I can see a headlight symbol on the instrument cluster but it doesnt illuminate when the headlights switch on. Neither does the symbol on the rotary headlight switch, either. I know the dashbaord switches illuminate but would really like to enable the cluster symbol if possible. I've...

Hi T6 150 Highline I have noticed that the front & rear lights do not come on when I use the key fob. They used to come on. The light switch is set to automatic. The indicators flash & the doors are unlocked, but the lights only come on when I turn the ignition on. It is the same if I use the...

Fitted the new cab light unit from @saxoboy. Works a dream. Only thing now is I’ve noticed my auto headlights are not working correctly - they’re just on. I think the sensor is behind the rear view mirror area where I would have been. The only thing I’ve now found - having had a look, is the...

Hi new to the forum. I picked my 2016 shuttle up today. What I noticed was I had an auto light switch. I done a search here before collecting as I wanted to upgrade to auto lights and wipers at some point. I looked and the interior mirror does not have any sensors on the back. Just a standard...

Hi, I have a T6 with H4 headlights and when Auto is selected the dipped and side light are lit, not DRL. If I switch to 0 or side lights, the DRL's come on? Reading the user manual, DRL should come on when auto is selected? Appreciate if anyone can advise what I am doing wrong or can try to...

Hi my problem is I blew the fuse for the top dash 12v socket which I have now replaced and is working again, but now the auto lights and wipers won't function on their auto settings I've checked all fuses in the lower dash fuse box and can't find any blown. Has anyone any ideas.

high as much as I love the van and in the dark when finding van the auto lights come on while I walk up to it but when I lock it in the dark unless I flip the flash I don’t get an auto coming home so when walking up drive to house I fall over the bloody dog and suggestions 2017 204ps 4motion
