Coming Home Lights - Stopped Working

[akbarirfan]

Hi All,

Yesterday I noticed that my coming home lights (when I lock the car) no longer come on.

They are activated in the highline cluster so not sure what the issue is.

The only change since the last time they worked was installing interior LEDs and having the cam follower changed.

Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks

Mine does this also but just assumed I had it set up wrong on mfd

Mine stopped working for months even when they were activated

Turned them off via vagcom and turned them back on and they worked again

Still don't know why they stopped working

Will try and disable/enable tonight then!

I managed to fix this by disabling the Coming Home lights using the MFD, going for a drive, then enabling them using the MFD. Back to normal now.

Update:

So now both the coming and leaving home lights work when the feel like it, as do the auto headlights. The headlights definitely work so I can't understand what is going on!!!

Does anybody know where in VCDS I will find the options to disable and enable these functions?

Thanks

Maybe the problem is in your light sensor. The coming/leaving home lights work if the sensor detects that it's too dark.

Your auto-headlights should work well if the window above the sensor is clean and if the sensor is working well.

Are you sure that the c/l lights only come on when it's dark though?

The auto wipers work if that helps!

Only come on when it's dark, same as your auto lights.

It's what Apollo said. It's the same with the wing mirror puddle lights for those cars that have them.
