After seeing the excellent write up on http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/audi-rs/ ... -drls.html I did the same mod today - took about an hour all told, mostly due to the fiddly offside bulb.

Here's a pic in bright sunshine of one side done, the other not...

Parts used:
I bought these bulbs: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009 ... UTF8&psc=1 (£9)
and 2 of these resistors: http://www.rapidonline.com/Electronic-C ... or-62-8112 (£3)
and 4 of these Scothloks: http://www.rapidonline.com/Cables-Conne ... ue-51-0386 (£2)

Them resistors can get upto 100 degree's so make sure you don't mount them to plastic.

I have a solution for the RS4 DRL to make them work error free.

Will put some info up on Tuesday.

Yep, I put some on, took them straight off as they get way too hot, I replaced mine with some that don't, can't remember the make as it was over a year ago, sorry not very helpful, but I would not fit those in my engine bay with the heat they produce

Yeah, they do get hot, but then the engine bay's a pretty hot place to be... I didn't mount them per se, just tied them in place. Maybe I'll double check they're not melting any hoses or anything ;-)

I'd be interested to see what trick you have up your sleeve, Trups...
