I found a guy who have done this. Anyone have the ODB11 long code for it?
"Cluster lighting with parking lights – To combat inattentive drivers who neglect to turn on their lights at dusk, VW installed a sensor in the cluster that dims the cluster lights as the outside light decreases. The idea is that drivers will remember to turn on their headlights if/when they cannot see their speedometers. This annoying feature dims the cluster even when it’s unnecessary, such as when driving between tall trees. Cloudy days can affect the lighting, too. It’s even worse if the windows are tinted. Turning on the parking lights kills the cluster lights completely. With this mod, I can now turn on the cluster lights by placing the headlight switch to the parking light position. My DRLs are still operational and will suffice in less-than-bright conditions."

albin: Not quite sure what the author of your extract is intending, but you could experiment as follows: 1. Select Dashboard control module (@ address hex17) 2. Select Security Access 3. Enter 25327 (note: this security code only applies to pre MY16 MK7s - I'm not aware of a security code for newer model mk7) 4. Select Adaptation 5. Enter "illumination" in the Search-box and select Illumination_algorithm-Scale_switching_algorithm 6. There will be a few available options as settings - I suspect that the setting on your car is parking_light. Try changing this to lds Don
