Sweeping Blinkers on headlight?

[HackDevil]

Just saw that's it's possible to have the sweeping blinker on the led headlight.

Does anyone know how to do this? I can't find any info. And the video I saw is from a non English group.

I would... But the video was uploaded by someone in a private Audi group on Facebook. It shows a 12-15 A6 with the turn signal sweeping from the inside out. Just like it would on the 16+ A6 Tail Lights

Best I could do is try to snap shot it mid sweep.

You need to take apart the headlight and add modules. I would say this is NOT a DIY.

The new B9 A4 has these sweeping (or sequential) turn signals in both the front and the back. They brought a modified version of the rear sequential lights to North America, but I understand that the DOT has declared the front sequential signals to be verboten.

The problem with all US Audi's is that the rear turn signals are red. It doesn't matter if they sweep or not, on a freeway, a sea of red lights on a rainy windshield at night is not as easy to differentiate as a single amber light. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter if Audi makes the lights do a dance, it's just dumb to choose the unsafe red lights when amber is obviously the better choice. Nobody at the DOT has ever driven a car in the real world.

but amber is so ugly :)

it makes the car look like a German import as opposed to a Chevy sedan.

What I dont understand is why some brands are able to import/sell cars (Jaguar? Land Rover?) with amber turn signals but we don't get them?

US DOT allows either red or amber rear turn signals. So its up to the manufacturers which they want to sell/import. It seems that there was a time when the Europeans began importing more cars with amber turn signals, but that seems to have changed for some reason.

Audi chooses red because it's cheaper and they don't care about safety. The Audi Amber lights do not light the required surface area on the first two blinks of the traveling design.
The DOT and the NHTSA have both studied Amber turn signals and concur that it's safer but it's not mandated so obviously the US gumment doesn't care about safety either.
The only country in row that allows the useless red rear turn signals is Canada.
