My c207 had an MOT yesterday, since then the leaving/coming home lights that stop on for about 15 seconds when car is locked and come on for about 15 seconds when the car is opened, are now not working,
I'm presuming the MOT people have turned summut off while testing the lights,
any ideas?

Yes I think you can turn this facility on/off through the settings Tony.
Sorry not sure how to do it though.

It’s done through the main computer in the dash. Go to the sub section “Lighting” and have a scroll through until you find it. Then just switch it back on. Simples!
Naughty MOT Guy for messing about with your settings.

I can only guess that they wanted to check something that required them to be off.

Is it simply that they have turned your lights OFF rather than left them in AUTO?

It pee's me off when garages alter stuff like lights & put parking brakes on instead of leaving alone.

Smart + others :)
Did you have auto/adaptive main beam on? Perhaps they didn’t know how to turn it off.
