I kind of miss the extra light from fogs that I had on my A4 but like the clean front end look of no fogs.

I already bought grills and OEM fog lights + switch but can easily sell it again on ebay.

Since it's still at Pfaff, it won't cost too much to get it done. This time the right way with OEM RS4 plastic mesh not steel mesh.

Car will look kind of like this when its done...

Default Re: Do it and sell me your S4 bumper :)

I have dibs on it please !!!

I actually do like the look of the RS4 bumper. With all the work you've done to your car, nice addition to take it another step towards being unique.

Default Audi didn't put the fog lights in the Canadian S4's (B5), I was told it allowed for more air into

the intercoolers. I think that it was BS but I thought that I would pass it on.

I would put them in if it were me.

I thought it was due to the stricter Canadian bumper laws.

Default And something to do with the insurance institute,...

that's why we don't get xenon either, while US cars get both. It's so stupid.

Default Yep, DRL must be working in the event of a front end collsion at a certain speed

Can't remember if it's 7km or 10km but whatever the speed is, it's enough damage to end the fog lights which would have been used as DRLs and must be functioning still. Hence the fogs were ditched and regular halogens were used.
