    I had this happen to my 2014 CC VR6 4Motion. Unfortunately in my case the problem was NOT the side light bulbs. I took the car to two independent shops and they could not pinpoint the problem. I finally took the car to a VW dealer because I got tired of the error light. The problem was the rear "leveling sensor". A few $100's later and it is all fixed.

      Yup, fixed, but my code was thrown by different issue. Yes, if a bulbs out, especially the bulb that lights up as you turn/signal it will give an AFS alert, but as said, that’s just a bulb change/fix. Which is not ALWAYS the reason as the poster kinda insinuates.
