Consumer Description
Due to "supply chain" issues, Audi downgraded headlights for certain vehicle models / years to the older standard LED headlights instead of the Matrix Design / Matrix Laser lights originally intended; such as the SQ7. Integrated within the headlights, there are 'all-weather lights' that can be manually turned on or off with the main low beam switch turned on or in auto mode (and lights activated due to outside ambient conditions). When the all-weather lights are not fully on through the switch, they are supposed to act as cornering lights and should independently turn on when turning either left or right, but currently do not illuminate at all, even with using the turn signal or not and at any speed. There are no warning messages and local dealer is not aware of any TSBs to fix the vag-com programming issues with the lights not turning on. This is a significant safety issue as driver's view at night while turning is limited due to the forward position of the headlights and lack of the cornering lights turning on. The cornering lights are mentioned in the manual index, but does not provide any additional information. With the cornering lights not working, there is increased risk of hitting a pedestrian or object due to the now limited visibility. This should be a simple programming fix by Audi and has likely been caused due to the 'matrix light delete' for particular effected vehicles during the supply shortage.
