    DRL Issue After Headlight Removal

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Weird issue a buddy of mine is having. Long story short.... I had an extra RS5 grille that I gave him for his B8 A5. He took off the headlights followed by the bumper for a clean install. Put everything back together and now the passenger side DRL does not fire up, but the low beam and such still work. Verified everything is plugged in correctly, which it is... Not sure what the issue is?

    I recommended for him to swap the headlights from one side to the other to see if the problem followed but I don't believe he had the time to try that yet. Any thoughts?

    id check the pins inside the connectors to see if any are damaged

    You don't have to remove the headlights for a grill install on that do you? Try scanning for a code with vcds and clear it if there is one.

    Just let him know to double check the pins.... I know the headlights don't have to come off... This was his first time doing this so I think he just pulled them off to make sure they weren't in the way..
