Default Only One Side Of Rear For Light Is Functioning?
Hi everyone,

Is it true that A4 1.8T has only one side of rear fog light? I have complainted about my rear fog light to the saleman but he claimed that the car has only one rear fog light and it purposely designed that way. Is this true? Because, even my wife's Fiat Punto has two rear fog lights.

Yes, it's on purpose - so that people behind you don't think you're braking when they see two lights
