Auto Headlight Switch, Built-in Headlamp Light Sensor Switch for Volkswagen VW Polo 9N 6R / mk4 Golf / MK4 Jetta/Passat B5 B5.5

I installed this in 5 minutes in my wife’s 2014 VW Beetle R-Type. It needs no tools to accomplish. It worked perfectly and looks and feels like the original. Check YouTube for instructions on how to push and turn to remove the original.

My 2013 VW Beetle did not come with automatic headlights. Bought it used in 2022. Since then I've left the lights on by mistake 3x, draining the battery, because I'm so used to that function in all my other cars. While the headlights would go out when you parked the car, the daytime running lights would stay on, thereby draining the battery This one is a perfect drop in, plug and play. What I like about this one is that theres a light photcell on the top of the switch, versus the other ones that come with a wired sensor that you mount on the dash or the A pillar. This switch integrated photocell works very well. As soon as sunlight comes through the windshield after pulling out of my dark garage, the headlamps turn off. Interesting that when you merely open the doors, the headlamps do come on, which in the original switch they wouldn't come on until you actually moved the switch to on. They were not associated with the door being opened. One thing of note. It has positions for fog and parking lights. I dont know if this one is defective, but i can't move the switch to either of those positions. I don't have fog lights to begin with so its not a problem for me. But I would like to have the ability to put my parking lights on at times, but its not a deal breaker. It's not quite as robust as the OEM but I didn't expect it to, compared to OEM prices. Finally, my car came with a rather heavy brushed satin trim on the switch. This one is a thin strip of chrome. Hardly noticeable as it being different. That too is not a concern as long as it works. Update. Rufus says this is not compatible with the 2012-2019 Beetle. That's incorrect. Pull your oem switch first to find out if it's a round housing or a rectangular one. My 2013 has a rectangular housing the fits the switch harness and it works perfectly.

It’s a super product, I love the function of leave home and everything, the quality doesn’t look too good enough but it’s ok

This Euro auto headlight switch is terrific! It was a 3 minute installation. I pulled up a video on utube to be sure of the steps on removing the old one and it was so easy. It is truly amazing that one can get fully functional auto lights with just a switch change out. I have a 2011 VW Jetta SEL 2.5 5cyl. It had a on/off light switch only. There were fog lights but they were not operational. In Virginia if there are lights on the car they must work or they can write you a ticket/fail your yearly inspection. With this Euro auto switch the fogs came on with the pull of the switch. It was the first time I’ve ever seen them on!I also had to replace both headlight assemblies due to water leaks. To my surprise the new headlights came with some new bulbs already included. After installing all bulbs I find that this new Euro switch is indeed a great thing. It recognizes the ambient light and turns on either DRL or if needed full running lights. All this with my switch in AUTO mode. I am happy to write this review of what I think is an excellent product at a very reasonable cost. I recommend this seller and product to everyone who has a need for auto lights in their VW auto’s.

Works as youd think it would.

Installed on my A5 Beetle

Easy to install and works as described for a 2010 VW Beetle. The new switch automatically turns off 3 seconds after the ignition is turned off.

Works perfectly well on my MK6 2013 Jetta S 2.0. Product description says it doesn't fit on MK6 Jetta however I noticed that this light switch's plug looks exactly the same as my original light switch. So I ordered to give it a tried. Turns out it works perfectly well on my car. I gave 4 stars because the fitment is not so great. It doesn't fall off but light switch feels little bit loose when installed. Still it is a great product for someone wants to add auto light function. Highly recommended.
