Car: White L&K (105BHP) |  Speed Problem
I've got a bit of a funny problem
Thing is that when i leave the lights in the auto/tunnel mode and am driving reasonably fast (round 160km/hr) the lights switch on and stay on but if i am to cruise at around 110-120kms the auto feature works perfect (on when i enter tunnels and off when i'm out).....any of u guys been experiencing similar problems coz it's really pissing off  | |

It says so in the handbook. 
Personally; I have my headlights switched on all the time (mostly) on a 'daylight running' basis.
I am though thinking of getting a set of these instead;- PIAA LAMPS and mounting them in the lower radiator grille.

It is set up for obvious safety reasons and IMHO headlights/daytime running lights should be on all the time.

I remember seeing running lights for the octavia2 from milotech as an advertisement for their new 2008 catalogue. They were fitted on a red octavia in the lower grille.
Looked V.nice IMHO. Unfortunately i can't remember which website it was. DOH!
I'll have another look and post if i find anything. | |
