aka_dk, do you have a link for the red smoked tail lights?
I just had a crisis.

Just so you know Dee. The new plate surround I bought from Stoke Audi was £99 - add about £50 for paint. Fitting is easy. As an aside, I reckon just going a fog light delete would also look very good. Just get the whole plate surround matched to cover the fogs.
Job done.

Mule, what do you mean you wired the fog lamp into the O/C cluster?
Did you take the fog lamp unit accross or did you splice the fog lamp wire to offer control to the O/S stop lamp?

OOOOOOOH nice. Anyone worked out how to have two rear fogs now. One looks unbalanced. I easily did my old E34 with just adding a bulb to the empty bulb socket !! But the RS seems more of a problem

The latter bambam. Took the bulbs out the original lamps, and spliced into loom And fitted new holder in the o/s tail cluster.

the LED lights are not for me i'm afraid.
i think they try to bring the '6 into an age they don't belong.
original is best imho (traditionalist) ....(runs for cover)...

Know what you mean. I'm still undecided on them. Maybe they'll grow on me, but for now I still prefer oem.
