My Syncro has automatic lights, all 1985-up sold in both Norway and Sweden has
this. I also saw the wiring diagram in the Bentley, so you can wire it up
yourself.

Now this is easier, but a lot more expensive! Hella sell a kit, but it costs
US$ 240. You just stick the sensor on the inside of the windshield (inside the
wiped area), and replace the regular intermittent relay with the relay that
hangs on the end of the wire from the sensor. This is exactly what the new
Golfs and Boras come with from the factory.
