Of course you can have both leds on while the turn signal is on, I have it like that, it in a easy vag com mod,maybe the A6 shares the same DRL leds but the A7 is separate.

Look at the end of this video

With LED headlights, the DRL is configured differently on an A6 C7. There are no separate signal lamps below the DRL - the full across DRL strip itself becomes the orange signal LEDs in lieu of the normal white ones; it's almost as if there's one solid white (or orange light if signaling) due to the design of the DRL lens cover. Your video shows an A7 with standard headlights; is it the same configuration with LED headlights?

(Due to the timing of the lights vs. the camera's frames per second, the DRLs appear to flash on the video - the naked eye does not see that)

A7 is different than your A6. Here's a pic of an all LED headlight of an A7.

The video I posted is a full LED, the xenons look completely different and lack of the Led turning lights, look at the 3:20 of this video

Already Done, April of 2011, you can disable the wink, but for safety reasons, i set it up so it dims slightly instead of staying at full 100% brightness because from far away, the LED DRL washes out the LED turn Signals, in my opinion, the LED turn Signals are not bright enough compared to the Mercedes or BMW on the A7, they are good on the A8 and A6 and Q7.

Got it. Looks like there's 2 configurations for the A7 signal lamps (LED and Xenon) and a completely different design on the A6. (I'm not sure if the A6 Xenon signal setup is the same as on the LED headlight package). I do see that the A7 LED headlight design appears to also be different from the A6. Seems that there are larger but fewer LED bulbs on the A7.

Great! So, I'm not losing it - yet.

Anyone know the Vag codes to disable wink on the A7 with LEDs? Thanks.

How do you access the hidden menu? I've tried it without success with my own cable.

Also, I did the amber delete. It's easy to do and I think it makes it look better.
