Headlight/welcome light

[Gary-s]

So I've just changed my battery due to electrical issues and not getting enough charge to see if solves problems, so far seems to power things better and more responsive throttle too.

The welcome lights(which were enabled before) now actually work with the new battery, however they don't work with the spare, just the indicators on unlock, is this normal?

Also night driving it seems more oncoming drivers find the lights bright and flashing me, compared to when driving before the battery change, are the lights generally bright on an insignia, or would I be assuming the bulbs were changed to higher brightness which could have been down to previous owner because of poor power not powering them well enough?

You didn't accidentally switched the headlight switch to auto mode? In "always on" mode, the welcome lights doesn't work, I think it's a stupid bug.

All I know is in the dark, welcome lights now work with main key, but not spare, I haven't changed anything in the settings

There are settings which can be set so they are different depending on which key is used. Whilst the welcome lights might be enabled for the main key when the spare key is used with the car they may be disabled. Could be worth going through the settings whilst using the spare key to open the car and start it up.

I know on my old Elite you could have all manner of different settings tailored to which key is used including where the drivers seat is set to etc. On my current GS Tourer one i dont have electric seats but you can have all manner of different settings tailored to the key being used including radio presets etc.

As said above,my p/f Elite is the same.
