As Xenons are only standard on the S-Line and DRLs are a legal requirement it must exist.Does it exist?
Its the circled light in my pic here -
This is it in its dimmed state, will be somewhat brighter when the sidelights and fogs are off.
I think in the case of some Audi models they don't actually go completely off but do reduce in power and thus brightness. Certainly that is the case with my current 8P A3. I have xenon headlights and the LED DRLs stay on but at reduced brightness when I switch my headlights on. This probably only happens if the car has LED DRLs.Seems they do have to go off with other lights, see here
I've never really noticed, nor has anyone seeing my car because I never ever drive on just parking lights. No lights or dipped headlights. Parking lights are really just that, parking lights and should never be used on their own when driving. Personally I wish the manufacturers would take away the option for parking lights and give parking lights when the ignition is off and dipped headlights when the lights and ignition are on. It would stop silly people from driving around with just parking lights on thinking it's OK because they have put their lights on.The LED DRLs actually become the sidelights by reducing the brightness - you'll see if you put just sidelights on without headlights.

There was a period when dim-dip was going to be mandatory in UK. As it was only a few ever got it. A Rover 416 company car that I had was fitted with that system
I really wish people would start calling them parking lights over here, then people might actually get a clue what they are supposed to be for!
