Default Maybe - but in dense fog (since we're talking about the UK), the whole point of

fog lights is they light the side of the road better. If you turn on you headlights you get blinded by the reflected light. Therefore front fogs need to be on a separate switch.

So in the UK, can an S4 run with just front fogs?

Default actually, the point of fogs is to make you more visible to oncoming traffic...

any increased visibility is just a side effect

Default In UK - front fogs can be on with only sidelights...

... which is great for seeing where you're going in thick fog, without getting glared by your own headlights.

It doesn't matter to oncoming drivers whether you have fog lights or dipped headlights - they still see two bright lights !!!

Default Works on 2006 A4

Confirmed that this works on a 2006 A4. Not necessary to do the VAG-COM modification if you don't mind having the turn signal lights on.

Default Works great on B7 S4, question...how do you remove the pins correctly? thanks

Does anyone have a good write-up/explanation on how to do this. I want to remove the pins and do a quality job on this.
Cheers

Default Has anyone tried this on a B7 RS4

I am wondering if this mod affects the "coming home" feature which turns the fogs on when you turn the ignition switch off.

Default No Luck

I tried this on my 2005.5 B6 S4 Cab. Had a shop VAG it to RDW and no lights worked. Connection is good. Any suggestions?
