If you are talking about the frt turn signal lights. I went to my local auto parts store and bought clear 15 w blubs that replaced the stock yellow/orange ones. Cost me $3.00...

Did the very same thing with mine, holes were got too big. So I covered them with aluminum tape. It was a tedious task but I was able to cover the holes and am happy with the results.

Default Bad idea.

Having a yellow corner light for blinking turn signals is a safety feature. Other drivers are used to it. White bulbs in the corner lights may also be annoying/distracting to oncoming drivers.

I agree - turn signals are amber - anything else is not safe.

Default Aluminum tape? Hmmm, maybe not a bad idea.... More info?

How did you get the tape to the holes?

Default Clear looking bulb that 'blinks' amber

Osram-Sylvania make a bulb for cars that looks transluscent however when activated blinks amber. Not sure is its DOT legal or if it fits the North American Audi's but it looks awesome.
