- 2018 VW GTI S
UPDATE:
The warmer above freezing weather has been going on for a week now, and the problem seems to persist.
I've tried going with the light switch off, which works - unless they fail the first time - then I have to shut the car off and on again to get rid of the error. Less than ideal.
I've also found that if I leave the lights on the "Auto" setting, and spam the unlock button a few times they work - and can visually see that they fail the first or second time its unlocked but fire consistently after. It seems to work the same when the switch is turned off and this is done, but I cant visually verify it. Less than ideal.
This cant be great for the life of the bulbs or ballasts, right? I doubt that it would be my battery starting to go, since I had this 2018 GTI brand new since March 2019, but maybe?
I will be checking the grounds and connections to see if there is anything weird there, and replacing the ballast via warranty if the connections check out.
If I am still seeing these issues after all of that, Ill just go and buy Ed's LED bulb kit for these lights.
