My younger brothers friend has just bought a 52 plate A3. It all seems to be standard however they have noticed two unidentifiable strips just under the number plate. They are connected to the electrical system, but don't make a sound or illuminate when the ignition is on. My first thought was DRLs but they don't light up and they are black so don't think its that. Im going to do a VCDS scan for him next time I'm up there but just wondered if anyone can shed any light on things please?

Spot lights which where there in the past? They're defintely not oem. Just rip them off/out, might be useful if you took the bumper off and see where it goes to.

Looks to me like they hinge the front number plate down. Possibly to fool front facing speed cameras. Just a guess

Where the blue lights used to be perhaps?
