Upgrade the lighting intelligence of your Skoda or Volkswagen with this Automatic Headlight Control Switch, compatible with Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Virtus, and Volkswagen Taigun. Built around the MQB AO-IN vehicle platform, this switch replaces the factory manual headlight rotary switch and adds true automatic headlight activation—providing a safer, smarter, and more convenient driving experience.

This Auto Headlight Switch uses an external light sensor to detect real-time ambient brightness and seamlessly switch headlights ON or OFF. Whether you’re entering a tunnel, driving at dusk, parking in basements, or navigating streets with inconsistent lighting, your vehicle automatically adapts—eliminating the need for constant manual intervention.

Designed specifically for newer India-spec Skoda and Volkswagen models, this switch uses a dedicated 10-pin connector, ensuring a direct plug-and-play fit with no cutting, no tapping into wires, and no coding.

Perfect Fit for MQB AO-IN Models

This product is engineered for the following Skoda and Volkswagen cars:

• Skoda Kushaq

• Skoda Slavia

• Volkswagen Virtus

• Volkswagen Taigun

Owners of these vehicles often look for OEM-style automatic lighting features that usually come only in higher variants. This switch delivers exactly that—an authentic, factory-like upgrade without altering the vehicle’s electrical system.

Key Benefits of This Automatic Headlight Upgrade

1. OEM-Level Build Quality

Built by trusted ODM manufacturers using high-grade plastics and electrical components. The switch delivers long-term reliability, smooth rotary action, and stable illumination.

2. External Light Sensor Included

The ambient sensor constantly monitors external lighting. Headlights activate automatically in conditions such as:

• Basements

• Tunnels

• Dust storms

• Heavy clouds

• After sunset

• Dusk and early morning light

This ensures better visibility and safety on Indian roads.

3. True Plug-and-Play Setup

The switch uses a 10-pin connector, identical in layout to the factory switch. Installation takes under a minute:

1. Press and rotate the original switch to release it

2. Disconnect the plug

3. Install the new switch

4. Connect the external sensor

No coding tools, no relays, no wiring cuts—everything remains stock.

4. Protects Your Headlights

Automatic lighting avoids unnecessary headlight usage, helping extend bulb life—especially useful for halogen and LED bulbs.

5. Reliable Upgrade with Known Limitations

Because of the BCM limitations on the MQB AO-IN platform:

• Coming Home / Leaving Home function will not work

• A “Lighting System” console error may appear occasionally, but it does NOT impact normal headlight functioning

This behavior is well-known and does not affect performance or safety.
