New Audis: Lights off with ignition?

Doug, on my car the parking lights stay on but the headlights and foglights turn off.

Even with all lights turned off, leaving an indicator selected leaves one side of sidelights on.

Actually, I believe that's for Euro-spec cars only. In US cars, depressing the turn indicator while the car is off results in ALL of the parking lights being lit.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a VAG bit-flip that will change the behavior to all-lights-off with ignition. After 11 years of never having to touch the headlight switch, I'm afraid my first year of Audi ownership will be an endless run of drained battery strandings..=20

Well, there IS a warning tone that sounds if you shut off the car with the lights on..... ;-)

Lol, how did you manage to pass your driving test, worry about other things.
