Default D2 platform with DRL

Can anyone tell me when the A8 became available with DRL? I'm connsidering importing an A8 to Canada and the vehicle will need DRl to be imported.

Thanks for your help, in advance.

Default I don't believe I've ever seen an A8 with DRLs.

It would be a pretty simple conversion, I'm thinking.

Default Re: D2 platform with DRL

Hi,

I'm just in the process myself.
I just imported a '99 A8. (non-HID)

Near as I can tell, the easiest solution is to run a standard SPST relay (battery, ground, siwtched signal in, and relay out conections to the two low beams/fog lights.

The difficulty will be doing it without triggering an error in the system check. I figure the fog lights are better as DRL's, as I don't think the system checks the fog light circuit until you try them (if at all)....

I'm doing the conversion tonight, so I'll let you know.

Default This looks like an easy solution for a very reasonable price.
