Default Ever thought about this?

What happens if some dork crashes into my car's back and I'm in need of new rear lights?! I hope Audi keeps A LOT of the old ones on stock...

Default Weird how fashions change........

when I bought my A4 in 96 getting the rear lights smoked dark was all the rage (I didn't).
Now its all about "clears" - people on other forums (esp the American dominated ones) even list this in their sigs!!
I guess even Audi pays homage to the "planned obsolescence" technique indulged in by manufacturers (albeit rather subtly), which makes existing product identifiable as "old" and thus building pressure to update.
For me those clear rears look very jappo and _might_ work better on the silver cars.<p>Greg Spark

No, they'll just say that you need TWO new rear lights rather than one ;-)

Default Still got that "loose" panel between the cluster and the bumper

Why can't the lights go all the way down to the bumper? It would look much better.<p>99 A3 quattro Sport
