jonesy1974a6 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi there, I've a 2005 2.7 Sline A6 avant manual. I've purchased these LED DRLs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Daytime-Running-Lights-Lamp-For-Audi-A6-A6L-C6-Car-Fog-DRL-2006-2007-2008/282638911699?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D31d156c915fa4ee08747d21d56cc77a1%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D262942548430&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507 The instructions says just connect them to the battery terminal. Of course they illuminate, but they don't then switch off. There are the other connectors. Do they simply swap out for the factory fitted lights. (I've not had the bumper off yet.) I'm wondering if anyone has fitted something similar and knows how best to wire them in so they come on with/instead of the DRLs. Thanks, Jonesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi Jonesy, I've not had any experience with drl myself butI I've found these videos on YouTube which may help Or this video from the UK.... Hopefully other members might be able to offer some more advice :) Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Right ... firstly audi a6 c6 does not like led...ive been resarching this subject for 3 years... if you dont have good resistors/canelers it will show errors on the dash and hyperflash even when the car is off as the system is checking reguraly for faulty bulbs . Have you got halogen or xenon headlights ? Idealy you want to connect them to the original drl in the headlights so it operates correctly. You could also wire them in to the fog lights and using vcss code fog as drl ( but you will lose fogs) Last option is to wire them to the sidelights But biggest pain is the error and hyperflash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy1974a6 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thanks chaps Steve, I just wondered if anyone had plumbed in the same unit. Unfortunately I need to plumb it into the DRLs, and wondered what best practice is to save botching it :-) Niadzial, It has Xenons. But the DRLs are regular bulbs.

niedzial1983 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Your best option would be something like this with will save you cutting the original drl plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy1974a6 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hi Niedzial, They have one of those built in which they both pass through so I think I may just have to plump into one of the lights. It's not a universal LED so it should plumb in fairly easily. You can just about see the corner of the box in the bottom of the image. Do you know if the DRLs have different colour wires and if so which is positive and which is negative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Led would be universal , the fitting is bespoke to fit sline bumper. No idea about wires . Let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy1974a6 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 ok will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy1974a6 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Don't suppose anyone knows an easy to access accessory wire. Apparently I put the black wore to the black terminal on the battery and the white wire to an accessory wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
