The newer production cars only come with one.

It looks like both the A4 and S4 got the single trunk light instead of the pair. This applies to RoW models too, not just the US/Can ones. With the a5/s5, it does come with 2 lights.

I have been selling a small kit with OEM wiring and OEM trunk light on the a4 side. I still have a couple of sets left so feel free to PM me for details

FYI: Here's a post I created a while back to add the light back in. With the right parts and some wiring, you can DIY this back in as well. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-...sedan-2915234/

Wow, great work. I'll be buying one of the kits for sure.

Indeed. This is worrying. If Audi will cheap out on a plastic bag hook, a bit of wiring and a light, what else are they skimping on?

That's cool and all that it's available for purchase - just sucks that Audi thinks that is a great cost savings to them when we're paying for a sub $60k car! It's an LED with wires! Crazy

Multiply that small amount across tens or hundreds of thousands of car, realize that it's an upfront cost to the manufacturer and it gets expensive very quickly.

Looks like mine either shipped without a jack and toolkit or it was swiped at the dealership.

What's under the spare tire? Is the foam tool/jack tray in there at all? Just missing the tools/jack?

No, no foam tray - damned irritating. Goofy thing is my wife's Q5 (bought from the same dealership 6 months ago) is missing it's toolkit too. I suspect they have a problem at the dealership.

It is so baffling how your Audi dealership would loose or forget to include the foam tray and tools. If you've seen the Audi PDI checklist, it is quite detailed and if a tech would follow it to the 'T', nothing would be lost or forgotten. Damn techs just seem to check all the boxes and breezed through the PDI process with no effort at all. I hope your dealership is helping you rectify this issue.
