A call to Audi flagship resulted in "cornering lights" as the function of this element, dealership had no information to offer. The reflector assembly behind the bulb has a curved interior side suggesting that light would be cast to the side. I know that the xenon's include the high beam function and that the xenons go to high beam when the stalk is pulled even in daylight (someone suggested that the xenon warm up time is slow and that a separate halogen bulb assembly is used for flash-to-pass in daylight--apparently this was the case in the past).

At present, I do not know what the function of this light element is or if it can be enabled via VCDS. The current beta version of VCDS (module 09) makes reference to cornering lights via fog lights--changing this bit to 1 does nothing as far as I can tell although the coding is accepted (as the A7 does not have front fogs per se in any trim one wonders what this bit actually affects). Is this element present and functional on Prestige trim vehicles that have bi-xenon headlights? Any information about this light element would be appreciated, thanks.
