Lightbulb Audi Allroad 2003 - Daytime running lights

Hi,

My 2003 Allroad comes from California and does not have the daytime running lights (DLR). This is required to pass the federal inspection in Canada.

I have a few questions:

- How can I quickly enable daytime running lights on an 2003 Audi Allroad ?
- Is that only a software change or it requires re-wiring ?
- Is that something I can do myself or you suggest I go to a dealer ?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

BTW.: I heard about a DRL "fuse mod" the person who explained it to me also told me it didn't work on his 2001 Allroad... I don't know if I should spend time on trying it.

I'm looking for the easiest/cheapest solution.

Thanks!

Thanks 1move.

I have done some research and will probably go to a dealer for my car.

Don't go to the dealer! It is really, really easy to effect DRLs. Look at this thread for the best way to go about it. forums.audiworld.com/allroad/msgs/235835.phtml


I think the jumper wire on the back of the headlight switch is much easier and better than the fuse mod. You will read that I did it with a switch so I could turn on/off.

If you only want to pass inspection, you can place a temporary jumper wire in the switch and then remove it after you've passed. Total time should be about 5 minutes!!!!!

Have fun.

That's all I did, and left it in. 3 years later and it's still working great. Fogs only.

Dunno, it might work. Certainly elegant. But a lot more $$ than a jumper wire too......
