Yes, sidelights and DRLs are totally different. see pic showing both LEDs.

In my last post the first pic is wedge type sidelights with resistor - they are not central in the housing - look carefully, it's slightly offset.

Second pic is to show yellow Fogs against the Sidelights - fogs are H7 bulbs.

Third pic is the DLRs - they are type 1156 Leds and need a resistor across them - they are central in the housing, look carefully at the pic, it's central.

Access on '08 3.0 TDi:

Offside remove aircleaner box then plenty access.

N/S remove 4 internal hex head screws to allow headlamp to move forward a few millimetres then use grandson with small hands to remove/refit bulbs after I soldered in the resistors.
