Problem with lights today - 07 Passat

[wandersen]

I had a problem with my lights this morning ('07 Passat). I removed my key and a bell started chiming (as if the lights had been left on and weren't in automatic). Then when I exited the car the fog lights stayed on (i.e. right hand side rear and front lights which you can use when parked in foggy places). I couldn't get them to turn off - the light switch was in the automatic position, though I tried changing it to all positions. I was concerned as I only drive every days and thought my battery would go flat. I drove the car later and the problem "went away". Any ideas ?

Blinker was in RH turn position.

It's in the manual

Put it in LH turn position & the LH will light up. The noise is to tell you that you have done it - close the door & the noise stops

And they aren't fog lights, they are called parking lights.

As above...!

Great, thanks. I tried to find that in the manual briefly today, but nothing under lighting. Yep, that makes sense.

It's definitely covered in the manual in detail, take another look and check the index out if you can't find it.
