I have been wanting auto headlights on this car since I got it and thanks to bold sport I finally have it. I really missed this feature since I had it on every other car I've owned. The install was very easy: pop old non-auto euroswitch out with the new one, attach the control unit, adjust the sensitivity and tuck the wire in between the dash (pics below). After I installed the unit it would not turn the headlights on when I covered the sensor. So I thought maybe I need to adjust those jp1+2 settings (which I didn't have to). Finally I kept turning the blue sensitivity dial clockwise till I found a setting I like. I believe I turned it 180 degrees clockwise. I easily tucked the wire in between the dash and side airbag space with a credit card. I started from the sensor and worked my way to the fuse box area. Also the GTI has a nice place for the sensor as you can see from the pics below. I didn't even have to take the tape off, it just tucks in between the dash and windshield nicely. My headlights now turn on when entering a tunnel and off when back in sunlight. Pretty cool mod and it's very cheap. No vagcom work is required for just the auto headlight feature. I have no use for CH/LH so it worked out well. Here is a link to where you can buy the headlight+control unit+ trigger wire (because it's very cheap)...
