Default License plate bulb housing replacement

Been having a bit of a problem with my license plate bulbs lately. As of yesterday, both do not work...even with new bulbs.

I had a friend check it out, saying it is a faulty license plate bulb 'strip'.
In short, the entire strip holding the bulbs needs to be replaced.

Anyone else have this sort of issue? If so, how can I fix? OR where can I order a new one?

My dealer has quoted me $199.99 for a new one...but I'm hoping I can find one for cheaper. So far, I have not be able to locate this part online though.

Help is appreciated!

Thanks

I can offer three quick possible helpers:

Have a look at this post (51 etc.) and retry yours - http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a4-a4-c...holders-2.html

Check out some local scrap yards;

IF you have to replace, see if these interest you. I have never heard of this place, but you can always give them a call to make sure they are good for your B7: http://www.superdiscountleds.com/pro...28pair%29.html

Good Luck .
