Side light always illuminated in car

[Frankie136]

Hi everyone,

newbie here so sorry if this is an obvious question/answer. 

I have just purchased my first Audi (definitely not the last). I have a 2017 S line. 
 

When I open the car or turn the car on the ‘sidelight’ switch inside the illuminates and is permanently on. I have headlights with the little LED (I think it’s led) strip on them. My question is, is this light supposed to be on as when I put the switch to the off button (not auto) it still stays on? Any help would be massively appreciated. 
 

Thank you

I think they're meant to be on all the time, I just found this on another site

In UK, new type approvals (ie new models introduced) after Feb 2011 had to have always on front DRLs.

Hope that helps Jason.

Brilliant, thank you.
