Why do the headlights remain on after unlocking the car with RF remote?

Question

2015 VW Passat 1.8L automatic

Evo ALL service #: 001A06 827883

RF remote model FTX64-2W

I installed this kit in 2018 and this is the first time that noticed that my headlights would stay on after unlocking the car with the RF remote.

Sceneario: I used the RF remote to unlock my car last night, the car unlocked and the head lights and tail lights turned on, I opened and closed the door and left the car unlocked overnight. This morning I saw the lights were still on and the battery is almost dead. The headlight knob was in AUTO. If I lock the doors with the remote, the healights will turn off after a short delay.

Is there a way to prevent the lights from staying on in this sceneario or even in other situations that I am not aware of that will keep the lights on with the car off?

 

Thank you!

Check you vehicles user settings to turn off that feature of headlights turning on with unlock.
