Why Do All The B6 A4's Have 1 Brighter Rear Tailight?

['mk4-turbo]

Wondering why do all the B6 A4's have 1 brighter tailight than he other one....is it a defect or does it serve a purpose?

[vinny.dtw]

[VAG_4ever]

On purpose (left one)

[akaEsCo01]

You do know B7s are wired the same way right?

[VAG_4ever]

^^yes they are

[aaaudiprotein]

and a lot of other Euro vehicles

['mk4-turbo]

so when i put my fogs on the rear tail will do the same thing?

[aaaudiprotein]

yep...

['mk4-turbo]

interesting

thanks

[VAG_4ever]

^ yea when you pull it out (NEVER) lol sorry i had too..

anyway pull out the headlight switch twice.. should be a green illumination and an orange one.. the orange means your rear fog is on

[pondside36]

Well when you fully engage the fogs on ours at least you get front and rear fog, or you don't pull the switch all the way on only run front fogs. It is actually illegal to run the rears in non-inclimate weather in some places so be aware.

^ ive gotten pulled over for a "rear brake light being out" while having my rear fog on!!

[Smiley]

I have mine wired to dual rear fogs..if anyone pisses me off or tailgates me stupidly, I just pull out the rear fogs and smile :)

Because some numb-nuts doesn't know enough about his car to know their rear fog is on in perfectly good weather. Fogs are for when it is foggy, and rear fogs when it is pea-soup foggy.

Yea, I also use it to dissuade tailgaters. Not double to make them think I am on the brakes, just to wake them up and let them know I don't appreciate it. Most of the time they back off.

I am actually thinking of picking up one of those LED scrolls and setting it up to say "get off my tail, dumba$$", but that may not help all of the time.

Wait, so if you only pull the headlight switch out once, just the front fogs come on? And it you pull it out to the second notch, both front and rear are on? Lol please don't tell me I've owned a B6 for like 3 years and never realized this...

yes you are correct.

one notch/green light on=front fogs
two notices/green and orange light=front and rear fogs

[Kengineer021.8]

That is 100% correct.

That's why I don't turn mine on anymore.

Woah woah woah woah. I'm not trying to start this stuff up again, but weren't you the one in the other thread flipping out about drunk drivers? If this was a long time ago and you've since learned your lesson just say so and we'll end the conversation, no discussion necessary.

[AudiA4_20T]

Because some people are idiots and pull the knob out all the way to blind the shit out of me while im driving behind them... they make audi owners look bad

[[email protected]]

How do you own an Audi and not know such a simple aspect of it? Sorry if I'm in a hater mood today, but come one, think!

The switch can be pulled out two notches, don't just pull all the way unless you know what you are doing!!!

[aaaudiprotein]

^^^ i didnt know to how to turn on my fogs when i bought my car :)

[zz2h33]

Ahhh, so thats what that extra bulb was for when I took my tails out to tint them. I put a bulb in the spare slot on the other side, not sure if it works or not. this should be in the easter eggs post.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

wow i can't believe this thread is actually still going.

[aaaudiprotein]

^^^ im' sure that on a second page we gonna be talking about where to get a new exhuast/bumper/wheels :)

[gullatec]

hey what did you guys think of the seinfeld finale?

woooo

[Turbo1A4]

thats the first thing i did when i bought my car was play with all the buttons to see what everything did and if i couldnt see anything change i looked it up in the owners manual

[BARRY]

tailgaters beware!

i do this everytime someone is tail gating me BAD. then slowly you see them fall far far back. if i'm going 80 and all other lanes are open don't fking tailgate me. go around you asshat.

It took me a little while after I got my car to figure out there was only one rear fog light too.

Also just a quick question that is semi-relevant to this: What is the correct bulb that is needed for the "rear right right"? (Part #)

[OneBadAudi]

I know a lot of motorcycles are like this as well with headlights. They run one headlamp until you kick the high beams on, then both turn on..Suzuki Bandit 1200 FTW...
