Running/Fog lights
Fellas...whats the good word. Quick question here...I have a 2003 A4 Avant 3.0. When the ignition is turned to the on position the fog lights in the bottom corners are always permanently on. This normally is a good thing....except tonite I am taking a pretty lady to the drive-in theatre and I need those lights to go off.
I cant for the life of me figure it out, unless i just go in and pull out the fuse associated with those lights. Any other little tricks? Thanks!

On a B6, which your car is, you shouldn't have that. Assuming since you're going to the drive-in you are in the U.S.? I don't think other countries have drive-ins.
Anyhow, are you a second owner of the car? Because that should not be wired that way unless someone messed with it.
Any B6 >2002 had to have a re-wire and VAG COM programming in order to run fogs independent. Even then, though, they should only run when you want them to, not whenever ignition is on.
Hope pulling a fuse works; if someone re-wired them then that may not help.

Thanks for the info man...i really appreciate it...for some reason the lights do seem to be independant though. ahh well, i'll pull a few fuses and see what happens...worst case scenario a few nice pieces of black paper will do the trick. thanks again.

Its an American model....but I have it in Canada now. I have only owned the car for 5 months....it was imported from California and sold to me through a dealership out on the west coast of Canada. They are for sure daytime running lights...i just thought there might be a trick to getting them to turn off. Ah well!

That's why I asked if you were in U.S. in my first post. You can VAG them off, then. Your car is set for Canada. You need to change it to something else, but then you won't technicaly be legal in Canada.
