Hi everyone, newbie to this forum so please excuse any etiquette issues. However, my 2010 A4 2.0 TDI S-Line has lost a couple of the rear LED's and I was wondering what the best way of repairing these is without having to replace the whole light fitting. Is that even possible? Any advice gratefully received.

Just changed my left hand inner for the same reason. Search the german ebay, I ordered from germany and was cheaper then what the main dealers were charging.

The unit for the led's is sealed, only the fog and reverse lights can be changed, however there are people around who can fix them.

Now I have changed mine, I plan on opening my old one with a dremel, but for ease, I would say search ebay.

This one any good?

Its easy to do, behind the little flap on the inside of the bootlid there is a single bolt, undo it, remove the clamp its attatched to, disconnect the cable and the cluster will come out. Then you just need to transfer the bulb holder that holds the reverse and foglight bulbs over to the new one, and put it all back, takes about 5 mins.

Thanks Dieseldoos. The part arrived yesterday and it took me literally 5 minutes start to finish to get it swapped over. Many thanks to you for finding that seller and part on ebay for me. I can now have a play and try to repair the old one in my own time !!
