Anyone have the code for our low beam/DRLs or are they the same as the A4?

Default The high beam is part of the projector HID. The DRL is just DRL, not high beam.

And the DRL is just a regular TAIL LIGHT bulb.

I thought DRL is the std bulb running at a lower brightness level. Well, I know that's the case with my 01 VW. Don't have on my 05 Audi, so just curious here.

Default Now I see, sorry Moro...

so, they're using a little bulb now whereas before they just ran the headlight bulb at a lower level(VW, Subaru).

Default Many people assumed the DRLs are also high beams because they are big inner lights

If you look at a B7 headlight carefully it's obvious that it's just a regular 1156 bulb used for tails &amp; signals. It looks nothing like a headlight bulb.

1156 bulb:

Headlight bulb (generic, not the B7 one, but you get the idea):

Default Not always headlight bulbs at lower level too.

e.g. #1 - B6 uses front fogs as DRL
e.g. #2 - Certain generations of Chrysler minivans uses turn signals only as DRL
