    I'll have to pay attention to others on the road!

    Does anyone else have this feature?

    That's a bit weird. Mine are not set up this way, my GTI has reverse on the left and rear fog light on the right.
    I would think that your set up is a LHD set up.

    I'd better go double check which side the steering wheel is on.

    My 118TSI has the reversing light on the driver's side with fog light on passenger side.

    One day as I was reversing into my garage my wife told me that the reversing light was only working on the LH side. I sent an e-mail to Dermot Munroe at Wangara VW and he confirmed the LH side was the reversing lamp and the RH side the fog lamp.

    As is my TDI — actually, the entire Golf lighting setup is too complex and I find its operation quite wierd. Reaching for a rotary switch on the dash puts me in mind of my first car, a Dodge, which was made in 1923.

    My old MX83R Cressida had everything one could need — apart from high/low/flash beam on the wiper lever it all worked off the indicator stalk, was handy to operate and never missed a beat in 21 years.

    Incidentally, the only lighting failure in all that time was one front indicator bulb — DIY replacement took less than a minute and cost $1.

    I really like the rotary dial on the dash for the light operation. To me it makes more sense. ESPECIALLY once you have the rain/light sensor which turn them on and off automatically. Then you almost never need to touch the dial. Would be a waste having it on an indicator stalk.

    I agree - the stalks should be saved for frequently used stuff that you need to access whilst driving/moving. Switching the lights on is not really that frequent-a-task.. and its not like its far away
