That is actually a "fog light". Some Audi's and other cars have them. You turn it on in thick fog so cars approaching from behind can see you better.

It's called a "Distractor Light" so when people drive too close, it comes on, they get distracted, plow into you, and then you yell whip lash, and get a whole lot of money.
