I find the upper fog light button very useful. If its raining I just push it and all the lights turn on. That way you dont have to change the headlight auto button. Its nice that it resets after each drive.

Nice tip for those of us whose state law requires headlights on when raining. I heard of someone who actually got a ticket for driving with just DRLs in the rain.

GOOD!! I can't stand people who don't think it's necessary to turn their head lights on when it's raining or when it's dark.. sigh.. they should ticket more people

No I dont have one, sorry. I guess waiting for your car for 4 months will rack up posts versus miles.

Current production Audis, when equipped with LED headlights, don't actually move anything in the lamp housing, but instead different segments progressively illuminate and dim back to off. Audi leads the industry in lighting. U.S. DOT effectively stifles some of their improvements with old laws.

I get that. So you are saying the Audi LEDs do illuminate the curve (however they do it), when you are turning?

Good call- I was actually thinking that it would seem odd the LED's would "swivel/actually move" since the entire light assemply seems to be one solid piece.

The All Weather lights come on depending on which way you're turning at night.

I dont mean when turning a 90 degree turn, I am talking about the headlight following the steering wheel as you drive along a winding / curving road.

And also for the folks thinking the headlamp cant swivel, it can even though its all enclosed in a single unit. The unit does not move, but the lenses/mirrors inside do, so that as the road bends, the light bends with it to illuminate what you are looking at
