You haven't noticed perhaps that you can shift from D to 2 and back
very conveniently without looking?  VW very kindly allow you to do
this without depressing the lock button, so there's no chance of
overshifting into low.  Not saying you don't want lights there** but
I don't actually look at them much.

**given that the lights there are wired in series so they run at
half-voltage, the incandescents ought to last almost as long as LEDs...
