I've had 2 MK5 Golfs, 2 Sciroccos, 2 MK7 Golf's and 2 MK6 Polo's (and a few Audis) all with auto lights fitted as standard.
It's really not unusual for those cars to put the dipped lights an hour earlier than the start of sunset on a cloudless day, and much earlier on a cloudier one.
If there was a noticeable dran on the batteries for having them on, I'd perhaps sympathise, but at 0.5-1%, it's a non issue.

I can’t remember if there is a setting, if there is it will be in Vehicle > Vehicle
Better too early than too late. For a "nordic" country there are far too many cars driving around in winter / heavy rain stealth mode during twilight hours. Interesting to compare: https://travel.stackexchange.com/questi ... ng-daytime.

Presumably you have set your lights to "late" already? If not, you will see an improvement, but not a huge one.Bromsgroveuser wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 4:46 pm

Look under "vehicle" where you see the graphical visuals of the car on the exterior options. Under lights, you can set them to come on late. You'll be set to early or normal by default.

Had a look and it's already set to late, just have to come to terms that my idea of late is totally different to VolkswagensBromsgroveuser wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 7:35 pmThanks will try that tomorrowmonkeyhanger wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 7:10 pmPresumably you have set your lights to "late" already?

I feel I can speak for everyone who is waiting for their vehicles in agreeing with you that VW’s definition of ‘late’ is totally different from ours too

Still waiting for my ID.3. However on my 2019 SEAT Ateca I have my automatic lights on the least sensitive setting. Overall pretty happy with when they come on (normally prolonged driving with the wipers on or about an hour before lighting up time). Great for motorway sections involving tunnels.

I agree, the lights on my ID3 come on a lot earlier than with my previous three Golfs but it doesn't really bother me
