Xenons coming on to early at night.

[IbizaTDI08]

I have tried searching, but all I get is threads on headlights.

In the ECU setting on the car is there a way to change the level in which the auto headlights come on, as at the moment they are coming on when it's far to light also when I go past tree shadows along the road in full daylight. And then people think I am flashing them.

Is there a setting in the VCDS to change this.

If you find out let me know because mine are the same. Also my auto wipers could do with being a little more sensative.

You don't have a none standard screen with a blue tint at the top covering the sensor do you?

 

[IbizaTDI08]

Glad I am not the only One. No still have the normal screen in.

I've read a few posts about both of these issues. No fix as yet though.

I have tried searching but couldnt seem to find any actuall information on the problem. All I get was threads about which headlight bulbs haha!

why not just drive with them on all the time?
i do , the bulbs have a lifetime guarantee so no issues if they blow

I like the look of the DRLs.

 

[robdf2]

why not just drive around with side lights on then?
or does the main headlight still come on as part of the auto lights?

I think the top tint screen is standard if you have the convenience pack with the auto lights and wipers as it hides the sensor at the top of the screen. Top tint screens weren't standard when I bought my car and it wasn't an option, so I assume they were only fitted as part of the convenience pack?

I might be missing something here, but if you turn the lights off then only the DRLs come on all the time.

Not sure if this will help or not (VAG.com is a mystery to me!).

Those settings don't seem to exist on a 1p Leon.

 

[IbizaTDI08]

Spoke to the dealer on Saturday morning and explained the situation.

They understood and have played around with the settings, and thankfully things seems to be better now.

Most certainly not coming on now untill it's a bit darker.
