#12 of 13 Headlights by daytondanprice

I own a 2008 GTI and there are 4 headlights, but the two on the inside do not come on in any configuration. The VW dealership is researching but does not have an answer, although they believe that these are additional lights that were a Canadian spec and a specific code needs to be input for them to work.
 
Any ideas?

The headlights will come on if you have the headlights off and pull the high switch to the rear.. they are considered parking lights?? for what ever reason they serve no purpose really IMO.. ;p
