Even if you were not at fault it will affect your future premiums if it goes through the insurers.
I had a guy clip my rear bumper while I was stationary waiting to turn right at traffic lights and his insurers paid out but my premium went up at renewal which my insurers confirmed was due to...
I bought mine used approved when the car was 3 years old. Luckily for me the original owner took out a 4 year warranty which was came in useful for a few issuses that wouldn't have been covered under the used approved.

I believe there is a way to enable them with vagcom to operate as cornering lights so that they light up the road in the direction you are steering.
Sounds useful for driving along dark lanes.
The all weather lights are integrated into the headlamps. I have these with my Xenon headlamps on my A6 and they give a much wider spread of light when switched on. Give them a try when it's dark and you will see how effective they are.

Being serious, if you change the spacing the police are very likely to pull you over and fine you. If you repeatedly use non standard spacing DVLA can revoke the registration.
They are getting hotter on this issue as ANPR cameras can not...
