  • Here's a quick video on how to upgrade your normal headlamps to the automatic version using the Chinese auto-lights module. Works well just like the OEM setup and you can conceal the ambient light sensor anywhere you prefer to.
    The whole thing takes less than 10 minutes to wire up and configure. Use the following PDF to program the module:

    PS: Best to keep the 'tunnel mode' to off else as soon as the car goes beneath a bridge or the shadow of a building, it will turn on the headlights! This can be a bit embarrassing!

    I installed these on my brand new 2020 polo GT. While they work very well, in exactly 2 years and 1 month, my polo’s battery died. I reckon this was because of the follow me home function. Every time you press the unlock or lock button on the remote, the headlights will turn on for 10-15 seconds. This is when the engine isn’t running. The car’s battery obviously isn’t designed for this. So beware. It’s a great feature but it may cost you. Also, I haven’t installed anything else apart from this switch.

    • @GaneshBalan
      @GaneshBalan  Год назад

      Hi Devashish, that’s a good observation. The headlights do consume a good amount of battery charge and if the engine isn’t running, which means the alternator isn’t charging the battery, the battery will drain charge.
      But that said, most factory fitted batteries won’t last beyond 3-4 years. If your battery is due for replacement, try an Amaron next time and see how long it lasts.

      Hi Zubair. I’ve no clue about that man. Can you check Aliexpress for any UK based customers’ reviews for the switch? That way you can be sure it works. I believe UK car owners also have to pass the annual MOT so this is important.

      Hi Hammad, no the fog lamps cannot be wired to work with coming home and leaving home lights. By default the signal goes to the headlights. I don’t suppose auto headlights are given in the car, only auto wipers?

      Hi Karthik, it isn’t a VW/Skoda OEM part so there’s no part number associated with it. Your best bet is to check Aliexpress for the part using a VPN and have a friend based outside India to buy it and send it over. Or check on eBay. Chinese vendors are retailing these on eBay.com.
