Hi all,
Hope someone could help me out?
My Golf 5 headlights come on when I put the handbrake down and I have checked almost everything. Any suggestions? Even with the car locked and key on or totally off.:aargh4:

Welcome to VWAF :)
Turn your headlight switch from Auto to Off - does it still do it?
Hi there,
The vehicle does not have an auto selection. I am in south africa and most of our models dont come with all the bells and whistles like European models.
The lights only come on when the handbrake is released (put down)
If you don't have an Auto switch then you'll need VCDS to turn this mode off, see here for instructions; VW Golf/Jetta/Bora (1K/5M) Tweaks - Ross-Tech Wiki
The DRLs (and in some cases headlights) illuminate when the handbrake is released. This is by design.
Edit: The only Afrikaans phrase I can remember isn't printable sadly, but welcome aboard :D
