New B7 owner, prepare to flame for being lazy!

[Mr Footlong]

Are the comfort seats also on pikey manual runners? Booooooooooo.

[Batfinnk]

Mine are all electric.

Not loving the Dectanes on these but I saw some on here that looked lovely. I love the In.Pro lights on my 6 but haven't seen anything from them for these.

No in.Pro lights for the RS4. Mine aren't the Litec versions but the LED blinker, red crystal variety - https://www.dectane.de/TAILLIGHTS/Taill ... cryst.html

I'll take some snaps on the car...

Thank god, I saw a few poor ebay pics and it almost looked like they had manual grab handles

Thanks Neil. I had Dectanes on my but after growing sick to death of people beeping/swearing at me as they thought I wasn't indicating (due to the PISS POOR LED INDICATORS on the later revision Dectane C6 clusters, I would be pretty weary of buying any for this unless they had standard indicator bulbs.

[Batfinnk]

You can get normal indicator ones for these. I way toying with some for mine and am still in two minds what ones to go for either plain of slightly smoked as like them to look as factory as possible. Like these.

[Mr Footlong]

I will have a good peak at the Litec (Dectane) units again then as if I can still get classic bulb indicator clusters then that makes them a distinctly more attractive proposition.

Not had any untoward gesticulation from folk in mine with the LED indicators - they are pretty vivid and obtrusive - I wonder if the configuration/design has changed/is changed on the RS4. Dectane obviously do LED the standard bulb variety indicators too...

Et Viola?

There's Dectane Litec taillights and then straight Dectane taillights - I have the standard (non-Litec) tails. I didn't like any of the Litec variants on mine

Batfink - I went for the red/crystal non-smoke variant. LED indicator and a Trups canceller to replace the bulb reverse with a 20w Trups LED bulb - bright.

I too wanted a OEM factory feel and the smoke doesn't do that for me.

Had a lot of good comments about them...

I know - photos...

[Mr Footlong]

Was just about to link to that style but smoked - https://www.dectane.de/TAILLIGHTS/Taill ... o6v5jhv2b1

It is a shame that the Avant has 3 times the variants that loon has. I am a little concerned that the smoke appears to be pretty dark but with half decent silvered indicator bulbs (unless there are any canbus-compatible LED ones that are a lot brighter), it should be OK. That and I always indicate properly, not one for two click blinks mid-manouvre.

Some pics of yours would be good before I bite the bullet on a set of these thanks.

[Batfinnk]

Totally agree with the smoked. Only looked at as mine is black so would blend in ok. I agree the reverse light as standard are pitiful at best.

Don't bother wasting money on cheap tat; brakes are for wimps anyway, so no need to chintz up your rear end with fancy fairy lights. Just get in and drive the ****ing thing and enjoy the steering feel, then relish that V8 engine revving out to over 8k and changing gear to your own beck and call. You can then put the money saved into a TTS money fund so that you can watch it all happen a bit quicker. As long as the 'sticky clutch pedal' doesn't get you dipping in there first!

Equals this:

Which makes me wibble a bit it has to be said. NEIL, the key problem with the later revision Dectane units for the C5 were that the LED indicator clusters they fitted in were very directional, as in you had to be not far off dead behind the car to really them. Is there any chance that you can flick your hazards on, nerd it up like a champ and take a quick iSheep video or summat?

The thought of forking out for a 3rd set of rear lights, only to find the same old Dectane indicator issues, then taking a bath again selling them on again, doesn't sit right funnily enough . Thanks.

[Batfinnk]

Have a look at this. A few different types on there
