Remember too that the DRL's are your front blinkers too.

They are just a standard 3157 bulbs.. You can find LED replacements at about any auto supply.. (or on the web) You will, however, have what's called "hyperflash"..

The LEDs draw far less current and the turn signal flasher unit will think the bulb is burned out and will flash faster than normal. You should be able to find a fix for that by googling "hyperflash"..

LEDs do not product the heat that the incandescent bulbs do so DRL housings will survive longer. It's not a big problem but sometimes the bulb heat causes a hole to form over the bulbs allowing water in which destroyers the bulbs. I fixed mine but putting silicon sealant over the holes..

Not the dot style of the Audi's but I replaced my factory amber DRL bulbs with white LED bulbs.

I put on clear corners with LED DRL's and LED strip from JW Motoring. Had a headlight go out and didn't even notice because corners are so bright now! Check with Jhonathan.
