Thank you ! Caould u show us how the polishing works ? Great content

thanks ! Just for others with this issue, I have purchased both acrylic DRL tubes off Ali express for €110 - My local electrical guy is opening the headlights , cleaning down LEDs and fitting new tubes , so it can be done cheap

Hello, Both sides for me, one upper and the other side lower now yellow. Thought I was not going to have to bother with blown bulbs any more when I sold my 2006 A3 but now a £1 repair to replace the odd bulb has turned into a £3600 cost to replace both headlamps. Clearly there are faulty components within the headlamps. I have pestered Audi and they are not the slightest bit bothered even though my car was on 35000 miles and not even 4 years old. Audi will only start to take this seriously if enough customers complain. I will not be paying that as the car is still road legal but it may effect the resale value.

Hello thanks by doing this vídeo. I've seen that exists some fuses that can be related with the DRLs inside the fuse box (F23, F31, F36 & F37), do you know if this can be also a root to the problem or is very unlikelly? My bottom left side DRL looks turned off, the dimming effect looks that comes from the top drl junction, which by what you said in the vídeo I need to buy that chip ... probably is better to replace the full headlight. I like Audi, but this is unnaceptable to me, this headlight new plus working labour costs around 2000 here in Switzerland ... between Audi, Mercedes and BMW from the same year of my car, the Audis are the only brand having this issues, never seen a BMW 1 series or Mercedes A class from same year of mine with the DRLs broken or dimmed. A suggestion for a next vídeo would be how to turn off this bottom/side DRL through the ECU (by VCD or OBD2), not sure if is possible or not, but I've seen one A3 here in Switzerland with them turned off and only the TOP DRLs ON ... it looks better than I would think and is a cheaper alternative to who have OCD problems.

These MFing companies making it so expensive if any of the electronic part goes off. Hate it.

thank you so much for making this video audi quotted me $4700 to replace on headlight was trying to figure out how to fix it myself so anoying why did they make it so dificult damn i might have to replace the whole thing theres no way im putting that in the oven

The same thing happen to my 17’ S3 6 months ago, It looked like new removing all the burned thing on the tube, but it just last like 4-5 months, I did the same thing to fix it, and again looks good, but now I know this would happen again in the future, I think you need to change the led module to stop this to happen, or I don’t know if it’s a fuse related issue

Hello and thanks for the video. Could you tell us how you baked it? How many time and temperature ?

Just happened to mine. Pretty sure we can get a recall going on this defect can’t we? Or would that require it to be a safety hazard?

Great video, thanks 👍

BMW also has this problem now.I ve seen a guy on youtube with a whole bucket full of burnt angle eyes plastic tubes from bmw s.Also other car brands have this huge problem now.How to turn off the lower part of the drl on audi a3 through ECU by VCD or obd11 is the only thing that can save alot of people alot of money now,Can someone figure this out quickly and post a video on youtube how?

How did you baked it? Hao much time and at what temperature? Thanks

Great video , my a3 2017 top passenger is yellow looks like im going to have to try and do this , audi are a joke its endless problems , if I knew then what I know now I'd not go near one

I am having same issue with my Skoda Superb Mk3 LED DRLs going yellowish on both headlights and since it just a tube i wonder it may well be just the LED module l gone bad. It looks similar to ower LED DRL on your audi. Unfortunately I am little nervous about having some open OEM headlights :(

Hi when they led light goes yellow or yellowing do you get a notification on your dash? Because on my Q7 it’s coming on and off through the drive and it’s very annoying…

Salve. Ho lo stesso problema alla mia Audi A3 sportback 1.6 CV 110. Due fari, prezzo €. 1.800,00 x 2. Ma vedo che si possono riparare. Mi aiutate a capire con un video in Italiano, come fare e quanto si spende. Grazie.

Hi. Do you happen to know the model number for the lower passenger DRL chip. I have the same problem with my 2019 Audi A3 the lights look identical to yours. Was going to purchase a chip without having to take off bumper and open light. This video is much appreciate.

You mention baking the head light to open it, can you elaborate on what part requires heat? Do you end up snapping any plastic?

@1:33 what is the part no. of that chip in your hand ?

hi! at 1:54 the white piece you're pointing at, that holds the drl tube in place- what is that piece called? mine broke and I cannot find a replacement anywhere!

thank you for the video is my problem i love you

notice the circuit is glued to a heat sink what glue is used to re-glue the replacement?

hi, @ No Revving. just have a question hopefully you can help me out, i have the same issue with the bottom segment of the DRL has failed. I brought another headlight in good condition without the modules and control unit. if I swap my ones onto the donor headlight would it need any coding or alignment of the headlight ? Thank you.

How did you remove the transparent glass from the body to access the DRL LED?

hey boss i have a b9 a4 and the top drl was dimmed then went out but then came back like a month later then went out again so just curious, you say the top on can be fixed. how?

Did you end up disassembling the lights then? Contemplating doing this though it would be nice to find an experienced shop in my area

I have failures on both sides on my 2016 A3 , Audi diagnosed this whi h I paid for, quoted me £2282.....and have called me to say their diagnostic which I paid for incidentally was incorrect and it now wants another headlamp, a total of £3600, please be aware of buying one of these things.....I have seen a number of A3s with this issue, it is utterly criminal .

Hello guys how can I find lower drl chip...I can't find in ebay ...please let me know

My 2 bottom DRL are gone and 1 top DRl on right side is gone. talk about luck

Hi! Where can I find the lower LED module?

man this shit just happened to one of my headlights and to my luck is the lower one.

I did this, this wil work for a vieuw weeks.

People should complain amd complain til they are blue in the face, the cost of replacing is ridiculous......bad form audi
