B6 Rear light

Post by Pieter911 » Tue May 05, 2009 2:21 pm

Hi All,

I'm a B6 Avant 2004 owner. Whilst very carefully reversing so as not to scratch the boss's new maserati granturismo, i cracked the rear right brake light cover (the red bit) against a 'hidden' pillar. The brake light still works, but at night blinds those behind me when i brake.

Would be very appreciative of guidance?

1. Should I just go to Dulwich Audi (not passing the swine flu infected Alleyn School of course)
2. Should I do it myself?
3. If so, where do I order a new light cover / light unit?

Much appreciated.

PS - Quite like driving the S4 Avant in town. Had a 911 C4, but with baby due the S4 seemed like a good idea. So far so good, apart from reduced rear visibility compared to the 911.

Stay clear of the stealers and do it yourself. There is only screw/bolt that holds the unit in place. Not too sure if the lenses can be bought separately. Try salavage yards for a replacement unit. They will be much cheaper than the dealers.
