Edit: It turned out the problem with this car was a faulty ignition switch. Most of the thread is just speculation about what the problem might be, so may or may not be accurate for other cars with similar symptoms. (In other words, the stuff about the controller coding might not be correct. It's just speculation.)
------
This 2015 Mk7 Golf TDI had a new headlight installed, and now it has this fault code. The status display in the car shows "Vehicle Lighting Fault" with the headlights highlighted in orange.
The original driver's side headlight was damaged in a very minor accident a month ago. It just had a crack in the plastic, but still worked. The car was driven for a month with the headlight like this. There were no fault codes with the cracked headlight.
Today the headlight was replaced, and everything works (high-beam, low-beam, signals, marker lights, etc) AND the headlight switch in the car works properly too. I REFUSE to believe that the switch actually became defective coincidentally on this day.
Is there any way replacing a headlight could cause a switch fault code?
I've cleared the code several times and it immediately returns.
The lights are just regular halogens. Not HID lights. There's nothing fancy about them. Please tell me they don't have a supercomputer hidden in the headlight module or something.
