Default Daytime Running Light

My car notified me that my left daytime running light is not working. I looked in the manual to see if it was an issue with a fuse, but could not find anything. I saw someone else post about the issue, and someone replied the whole headlight would need to be replaced. I don't see how that's possible when everything else is working just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Similiar problem here. Got a notification about the Left side DRL not working properly earlier today. Few hours later after I started the car this error was gone and DRL were working again. Now i am concerned if it's just a matter of time before the problem shows up again and im forced to spend 2800€ to a new headlight.

Yea, not money I'm keen on spending. Hopefully yours doesn't pop up again.

You should get VDCS or OBDeleven. You can look at the errors and try to clear them. I got odd errors with my A7 and get some now with my Q7. Seems to be part of owning an Audi.

Is your battery getting old? On my 2012 A7, I was still running with the original battery until a couple months ago. I would get an occassional light warning or other goofy issues. Ran VCDS and the voltage was a little low on the factory battery. Once I replaced the battery, I haven't had anything come up.
