headlight question

[SlapNutz]

Hi gentlemen

So I noticed that the day time running lights on my Audi are not a smooth straight line but instead led blobs while some I see in the same age and range have a smooth line I will give examples below. none of these are my vehicles, just examples, my lights look more closer to the top picture.

compared to the smooth ones

What's the reason for this, is this a different spec headlight or is it just for image purposes?

what's your like?

I assume one is matrix the other is LED, not sure which is which...

I have matrix, and have smooth DRLs.

It could also be how bright the DRLs are (they dim down some when headlights are on)

I think I was having a duh moment.
It’s the angle that you look at them.

these are mine from side view and head on so all is good. Is there a way to increase the brightness?

I believe there is a process to adjust the DRL brightness within VCDS, but I've never felt the need to adjust.

Have a look here

Is there anyone in or around the London area who could do some vag magic for me and do some adjustments with leds as well as sweeping dials and all the other goodies for me that can be done with vag at a reasonable cost get in touch.

ive got the first gen a7 with older style bi-xenon lights , i turned my front drl to 100% as i think default was at 60% and mines is more similar to a jag front lights ( look more of a solid bar ) if you know what i mean.
im sure it was adaptation through central electrics and i could see the change in realtime using my phone and left it at 100% .

if i get the chance ill see what the sketch is and post some pics later

Thank you robster, I believe you are correct as I saw a few vids of it being done, just need to find someone who can do that and a few other goodies that can be done at a reasonable price.

i went out for a gander and for the life of me cant find that adjustment i have already made .
i dont know if something changed in my coding from doing rear light dynamic retrofit and scandinavian drl ?

it should have been central electrics adaptation channel3
but now i have that as turn signal dimming under that channel

i may in future back track the coding to see if i can get that setting temporarily back

one thing i did see ( and enable )
was turn off drl through mmi
handy for stakeouts and stalkers i suppose lol
