Kvc, by default at least on 06 4.8is from ones ive coded and my own, the cold check is only enabled on the left headlight (driverside) and when i first had my other dark orange ones the left would flicker upon starting about 3 times. Ive since coded that off along with amber sidemarkers.

I cant comment on having the switch on auto, I never have mine on auto.
