Default Daytime running lights while backing in reverse. Nice little dance!

This is the first car I've owned with 'led' daytime running lights. I just noticed today after installing a security camera that my led's do a little dance while in reverse.
So I was surprised to notice this after owning this car for almost four years. Maybe Audis have had this feature for years and I'm the last to know.

it's not a dance. this is how cameras film the LED's. park the car, record the headlights and on the movie you will see the same "dance" (you should do that with the same camera)

That does make more sense. I will record it again and see what it looks like.
Thanks for the explanation.

Check out youtube videos and youll see the same effect from others, also on TV commercials as well. Something to do with the apparent 'speed' of the LED's and the video 'recording speed' all measured in nanoseconds gives the appearance of flashing lights. Prolly an engineer can better 'splain this if he/she so chooses.
