Unfortunately, the tail lights on our car is OFF with DRL unless you mod it with VAG-COM

It's not a big deal with our cars since the dash lights will dim in lockstep with the outside light until they're extinguished once it's dark out. If a driver can't figure out that the lights aren't on once he can't see the gauges, then he's even more brain-dead than even I thought possible.

I don't like people who drive around with their rear fog lights on in clear weather.

Everyone please note that C7 A6s with HID or LED headlights do not have front fog lights. The button on the dash is for the rear fog lights.

Also, does anyone else think the LED tail lights on the 6th gen Camry are really bright? For those, I would actually want people to tint

No front fog lights as such but, at least with LED headlights, there is a second button to activate what Audi calls the small diamond-shaped "Static Cornering" lights which are aimed to the sides. Either one of these will also light up when the headlights are on and making a cornering turn below 44 mph (or up to 25 mph if the turn signal is activated) if in the Auto lights position. IIRC, even if the button is pushed, they will turn off when the headlights are on unless cornering below the speed threshold.
