Hi. I currently own an S4 Avant B7. I'm kind of sick of the tail lights. You know... with the round bulbs inside which looks like they are made in China! (maybe they are.)

Anyway I've been surfing the web for a while now and I can only find LED tail lights for previous models ( B5 or B6.)

If you guys know of any upgraded tail lights, even if they are not LED lights for the B7 Avant let me know!

Thank you all and keep up with the good job!

Hi!

272 (LED) is the size you require, autobulbsdirect.co.uk sell them
Bit pricy at £4.50 each

Hope that helps

Do you know of anyone that has replaced their bulbs for the LED version and how they look? Pics? I'm thinking of doin the same replacement but if it looks tacky and not stylish wont bother!!
Mine is an A4 S line Saloon..........

What I would like is the LED rear lights for the A4 like in the current A6 Avant and RS6

Is this the look you are after as this would probably be totally new rear light units.

Hi guys...

I was actually looking for this LED tail lights for the B7 model quite a while and recently found them. A company in my ctry actually makes them and it's a custom order. It uses complete OEM parts and kits but converted fully to LED. I have ordered two pairs and awaiting them to deliver.
The only thing is that the LED is only on the outer sides. The inner lights ( in the boot area) that has the fog lights in it remains the same as old.

I was looking @ Ebay, all tuning houses in Europe for A6 avant like - LED tail lights and didnt find anything. I´ve even tryed to upgrade it with LED bulbs but there is no deference. Only brake lamp has no fade out effect anymore.

Ameen6 - please send some photos and price. Im so mad of searching that I think I will make DYI tail lights if i dont buy OEM product.

p.s. where do you live?

Those LED lights look sweet!

Was this a difficult retrofit to do?

What parts did you need?

You can't just simply order the A4 LEDs. You have to get them made.
Simply you have to buy a set of A6 Leds (£255 from dealers), dismantle them and take the LED lights out and after dismantling your own A4 lights, insert the LEDS into the A4 lights.
It is a very difficult job to do and cost me in the region of £800. I think they are worth it.

I have money to buy a6 tail lights with leds. Is there any cutting and welding or it will fit perfectly?

Why not just get some LED strip from ebay for pocket change and use that instead of sacrificing a set of ridiculously expensive A6 lights?

those aftermarket LED strips look very cheap... :(
I`ve been looking for devils headlights for b7, and there where only led strips... i would make devil headlights on cheaper car, but not on B7 :)

Dont get them from croatia, go to local audi dealer, a6 led tail lights will cost £260.00 max.

I do have a full manual on how to retrofit the led tail lights. i only reccomend professionals attempt it as it is technical. I had a professional install mine, i will post a full rear end photo later to show you exactly how they look in the dark.

whoever is intersted after seeing the photo can email me at twokng@hotmail.com, and will email you back with the manual.
