Problem overview

Some Volkswagen CC owners report experiencing issues with the Adaptive Frontlighting System (AFS) due to burned-out cornering light bulbs, which can lead to sporadic error messages and improper system functionality. Many find that replacing the burnt-out bulbs resolves the issue, restoring the system to normal operation without error messages. However, some owners discover that the problem may lie with the LED (DRL) control module located under each headlight, which, if faulty, requires replacement to ensure the AFS works correctly. Addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining optimal visibility while driving.
