Golf headlights stay on “Auto” everytime?

Hey all,
In the golf mk7 I’ve previously owned, if I would’ve left the headlights on “on” and not “auto”, when I’d shut the engine and return it on, headlights would always be on no matter the time of day. I prefer the lights be on all the time when I’m driving.
On my new MK8, everytime I ignite the car, the lights are always on “auto” even though I’ve left the cars lights on “on” (that they be on regardless of time of day/outside lighting).
Can someone please help me understand how to keep the lights on without me needing to switch from “auto” to “on” everytime I ignite the car?

THANKS!!

Apparently LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) are more visible in daylight than dipped headlights which might explain why the lights always return to ‘auto’.
