Headlight problem !

Post by gov »

Annoying problem with drivers side Headlight ! Every so often my drivers side headlight comes on ( parking light ) and stays on even when engine off and light switch off - just this one light - nothing else ! I turn the light switch on and off a few times and it eventually it stays off! This has happened two or three times in the past weeks. Any ideas what I should be checking?

Thanks

Tony

yep its a vw thing designed so that if you need to leave parking lights you only need to have the outboard lights on so saving the bat
