I love the led's in the new headlights for all of the Audi's. The problem is when you have your blinker on, it turns off the led in that headlight while the other one remains on. I have seen this a few times now and it looks horrible. Couldn't they have come up with a better way? Maybe put the blinker somewhere else in the headlight housing to be visible while the led's are on? I don't know but it looks terrible.

 

You can actually turn that off with VAGCOM..

 

The whole thing is really kinda silly. If you headlights are on, the blinker doesn't turn off the LED's. It only happens when the LED's are serving as the DRL. Another thing they do is dim the LEDs when the headlights are on. Hmmmm.....WHY?

As for the LED wink with blinkers, I disabled that "feature" in a hurry!

 

How did you disable the "blink" feature? What page of the manual?

 

If you are talking about the "wink" all you need is VAG-COM to 'flip a bit' and the following instructions:

The bit can be found at:
Module address 09 (Central Electronics)
Submodule 0 (Master Cent. Elec. box, rather than a slave module)
Byte 3 (fourth from the left)
Bit 7 (first bit from the left in the binary representation, bottom check box in the VAG-COM long coding helper).

In cars like mine that "winked" from the factory, this bit is set to 1. (My original coding for Byte 3 was 91 in hex, or 10010001 in binary). Flipping this bit to 0 (in my case, making Byte 3 read 11 in hex, or 00010001 in binary) makes the DRLs stay lit on both sides when signaling. Simple as that.

Props to Aerodave for finding this for us.
