Cool. Thanks. Off hand, does anyone know if these are also the right ones for a B6 S4?

In case anyone happens to wonder in the future, no they don't fit. I've got 2 spares now.

I've had three fail in my car, infact ones gone now but I keep forgetting about ordering another one.
Wondering whether it would be better to just go back to normal 501's????

Tis a pain in the behind changing them but they do look much better than the old 501's, think I'll order 4 this time!

One of mine failed, reorder and refit, much easier the second time around but I'll let the engine cool if it happens again!

That's annoying that they're not more reliable. Maybe there's an alternate vendor? Or has everyone bought from ultraleds?

Ultraleds have a lifetime warranty but to be honest, I just couldn't be arsed going through the movements.
