Can you swap parts left to right in a process of elimination?

Long shot, disconnect the battery for a few hours and let the system fully drain down, might reset the bcm and clear any glitches.

I’d be hunting for a reputable auto electrician well before taking anything to VW.

I would be finding a good vw specialist who has the VW diagnostic tools - will be much cheaper than dealers

Swap the ballasts side to side first, see if the problem moves.
