Retrofit Auto Lights

[carlosfilippsen]

Hi all,

I have recently moved on to an Mk2 Leon FR from a Mk5 Golf. I miss the auto lights function and wondered if this can be retrofitted? If so, how hard is it to do and what parts do I need?

I have VCDS so coding is not a problem.

Thanks in advance

how hard is it to do and what parts do I need?

It's an easy job mate, just need the sun lights sensor and the lights switch with AUTO mode
then coding via VCDS

Would be interested to know more.
Does the sun sensor always get fitted. I have not got auto lights but I do have what looks like the sensor in the centre of the dash top.
Therefore is it just the Auto switch required and VCDS coding

Thanks for the info. Do you know the part number for the sensor at all?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am looking to go this route and I have a question. If I was to buy the above parts, where will the light sensor plug into? I've been looking at the Chinese copies as well with the light sensor attached, and might just decide to try and modify one if using an OEM light sensor would require a lot of extra wiring or taking the dash apart.
