beams. They only come on when the low beams are on; if you switch to high
beam the front fogs go off. I assume this is to prevent one from having fogs
on simultaneously with the high beams - the back-scatter from high beams in
fog is blinding, so you typically don't use them in fog anyway.
If you are looking for a switched power source, I've used terminal 15 in the
Central Electrical Panel (under the dash, drivers side) in the past for
switched power on a UrS4. It's likely the same on a UrS6 - you'd have to
verify that.
The LEDs are interesting. I modified my S6 headlights to take TT HIDs and
have been running them as DRLs. Using  LEDs as DRLs would probably increase
the life of the HID system. Food for thought anyway. Thanks for the link.

Subject: [s-cars] 12V source for driving lights?

Having a Canadian spec. S6, I have fog lights that are only enabled when the
headlights are turned on (not sure if this is the same for the US version).

 

My current project is to add LED DRLs (just bought the JOM LED pack from ECS
http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-C4_S6-Quattro-20v_T/Lighting/LED/ES1832854/)
and have disconnected the current DRL wiring from the headlamps for the LEDs
(note DRLs will go off when headlights are switched on).

 

What I now need is an independent 12V source that goes on/off with ignition
so I don't inadvertently drain the battery. Can the learned list advise of
the most suitable location to wire to the front and rear fog lamps (note, I
will be wiring the front and rear fogs independently).

 

Thanks,

 

Tony
