Like Mishar said, you will need to drill some holes for the wires. There might be another way, using the existing connection, but I haven't checked into it yet.
Thanks to you and Mishar for response and info.

The second picture is just for illustration to show the downward bent diesel exhaust tips, and its not my car.

Found this after a quick search, part numbers on second page: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...-pics-2825375/

So, then this was done too. Remarkably easy, probably about 30 minutes. Unfortunately no pictures this time.

For the fog lights, the LED also worked fine, but had a 50 watts resistor in the circuit to prevent error message. I only found out the size of the resistor while installing the lights and later learned that they get dangerously hot and could melt insulation on cables it gets in contact with. For me, switching to LED has two sides, one is the obvious cleaner light, and the other is the lower energy draw. So having a 50 watt heat source in front of the intercoolers on both sides was not in line with my wishes. Yesterday they were swapped with 35 watt 6000K Xenon (HID). Now the fog lights shines like newer before and I’m very happy with the result, although they have a slightest tint of green. And no error message for the fog lights too.

And for the straight exhaust tips, the work is in progress, but need to buy some clamps as they don’t fit directly being almost 10 cm in diameter. Think it will look great.
