Yes it does, as long as you have the same size connector for the plug. The earlier T5’s had a larger size connector and the T5.1 and T6 have the smaller size like the one shown in the advert.
Everything on eBay will say that, the part matching doesn't work
Mine do exactly the same. Its got so annoying I've now switched them to off.
Factory fitted light sensor together with rain sensor(RLS) is mounted on the windscreen behind rear view mirror.
Sensitivity can be adjusted a little bit with VCDS but not really useful adjustment range. Basically you can adjust it to switch on the lights even sooner.
Also CH & LH timing can be adjusted with VCDS.
The aftermarket version (got mine from @Pauly ) has two switch points. Overcast and it turns on sidelights (DRLs stay on too) and when it gets dark it turns headlights on. I'm not sure if there is any adjustment on the switch itself. But I find the sidelights come on too early and headlights come on a little too late, as the light fades. I've played about with the sensor position and now have it in the side air vent that points towards the wing mirror. Dont mind side lights coming on early but delay with the headlight was a pain. However with the sensor mounted in the vent, I just have to place my finger over it for 4 or 5 seconds and the headlights turn on. They stay on too, as long as the light level doesn't increase any. Had considered experimenting with covering the sensor with translucent sweetie wrappers, from a box of Quality Street. See if I can change the switch on point, by filtering the light. Suspect all I'll achieve though, will be diabetes.

Hi, thanks for the response. Mine has the sensor fitted in the switch. I sorted it by quickly turning from Auto to sidelight position and back. This seems to set it as the current ambient light. Can be a pain waiting until the correct time of day but if you notice they aren't coming on soon enough you can reset quickly on the go. Same for headlight setting too.
Thanks
Thanks

On my current headlights (Transporter HQ) The side light is actually a dimmed DRL rather than a separate one. Thanks
How is the auto switch programmed and meant to operate for welcome drl lights on opening and closing the van from fob ... I fitted the flea bay version yesterday and tested for the welcome light drl delay on both open and close from the fob and they both worked with about 30s delay.. but have just tried today .. albeit in daylight and no welcome light operation of the drl ... do they need some kind of programming .. the instructions were in Chinese
My F11 BMW has Auto lights for drl and these operate in day and night when in auto.. anyone know how to try the 'programming' switch selection procedure
