Apologies if this has been posted before, but is there an easy way to get both reversing lights working? I can't believe Audi skimp on this!!

I was thinking the same thing as I thought I had a reversing lamp gone but the clear right hand light (when viewed from the rear) is the fog lamp and there is no provision for a reversing lamp.

However, on my TT I had the same problem but this was overcome by buying a LHD European lamp assembly and fitting that which I modified so I had two rear reversing lamps and two rear fog lamps.

I haven't looked at the rear lamps on the RS4 closely enough yet to see if this is feasable but as the TT was able to be modded then I guess the RS4 could be too.

Good call Graham. On my my B6 I simply put the bulb in and away it went.

Think about the cost saving, 500,000 cars * 15p a bulb * 2 (for reversing and fog) = £150k. Thats a nice bonus for the designer who made the call.

both of mine do work

Mine has both reversing lights (but I'm in Australia so dunno if specs are different for different countries).

both of mine work too.

This is very strange. How can some B7 RS4's have a different number of reversing lamps, was there a change in design at a later stage to only have one reversing light then?

If there are some B7 RS4's around with twin reversing lights then that's going to make life a little simpler to replicate.

BOTH mine come ON!, I wonder if this is the 2007 new cars, that only get the two working?.

No. Mine's a 2007MY, but it's a cab

Mine are both fully operational too!!!

Different light assembly on a cab. so this probably why... Am i stating the bleedin' obvious.

Both mine work. Saloon May 2007

Both mine work too; reversing out of work car park can see my reflection in building across road.

Wife's A3 I think I remember only has one reversing light though

OK then, so it seems that it is only the Cabriolets that have only the one reversing light.

Funny though, because up to now I wouldn't have thought it was that bleedin' obvious.

There you go, you live and learn every day.

Both should still work though Graham surely?.
