Hi all, I'm probably mistaken but I though my highline mirrors were supposed to fold in, dip and have little lights that point down the side of the door. I've got none of that. What have you guys observed on you mirror in this regard?

No, they don't fold and the downlight isn't fitted here.
Probably prompted by spare parts sales and unlike the Mk 6, which has mirror housings that swivel in either direction on impact, Australian Mk 7 (semi-)Highlines have the mirrors rigidly mounted to ensure that the first careless parker that hits them will break them off.
I never thought to check before I bought the car — might well have made me reconsider.
In a previous life I ran a fleet of vans with similar setup — mirrors were among the most frequent replacements, so breakage is probably only a matter of time.
The reverse dipping function (for the left mirror only) is there but you'll probably have to enable it.

I was told they could be folded in manually, they better coz I have a narrow garage and folding in the mirrors (even manually) would help. Still I'm pretty annoyed power folding mirrors weren't available as an option on any of Golfs.Current:

Does the source of that photo state that is specifically of a non-power foldable mirror? I've seen power folding mirrors that look like that so I wonder if it is just a photo of that.Current:
