Yup. They definitely look better than the ones bought off Amazon.

I have to warn you though. The connectors in the replacement lamps were a bigger size compared to the small connectors of the original car. But the metal prongs in the lamps align perfectly with the connector in the car. So you can slide the metal prongs into the connector. But it doesn't lock into place. Good thing is the metal prongs are tight and thus there's nothing to worry and it works perfectly fine.

I found one vender in Aliexpress shown similar to Your's. A bit over $6 a pair. I just ordered three pairs. Keep my fingers crossed that the item turns out as yours.

I searched too but I couldn't find any of the, with only rings. I saw a few with rings and the Audi lettering. I also saw one with the Quattro lettering.

I see that they don't have a photo of the rings. They've used photos of the original Audi rings. Message the seller and ask him for real photos. Also, in the description, in the last image, it shows a circle with "LOGO" in the middle. Tell him you don't want the circle and only the Audi rings (if that is what you want). Mine was also similarly priced. I think around $6.7 per pair. I also managed to get one set of rings and one set of Quattro free.

Thank you Joseph! I will look into that and see if I can find out and have it switched.

Here is the real photo of the rings. Not as good as the OEM but feel still better than the Amazons.

Yea. That looks similar to the ones I have. It isn't visible in the morning since it isn't strong enough. But at night it is very prominent. Stronger than the other aftermarket ones I've seen.

I just got a pair of the OEM Audi 'rings' logo from an eBay seller in Latvia for my B9.

Part number on the box is 4G0052133G. Part number on the actual lights is 4G0052134D, with a date of Jan 25, 2017, Made in Germany.

I wonder if these are the new ones from the new vendor. Original part number was 4G0052133A.

Yes, they are the replacement units.
