There is a mod, but it isn't simple. I had it done to a '98 A6 -- 3 hours
labor. Talk to your Audi dealer, or call one in Canada if your local dealer
is unfamiliar.
However, I would just turn on the (low beam) headlights manually -- a lot
cheaper, and after a while, it becomes as automatic as fastening your seat
belt.

I thought that setting up DRLs on the B6 A4 was a simple configuration
change using VAG-COM, or similar - see
