Post by maxrs4 » Sun May 03, 2009 10:56 pm

right sorry for all the questions! need info on vauxhalls im your man but im new to the audi thing!!
questions!-
my front lights are stone chipped, can i just buy new lenses or do i have to but entire units?

what sidelight bulbs are fitted to the rs4s all the books in halfords etc say 501s but lookin inside the light they dont look like they are,i have nice blue hids and yellow side lights

the rear lights- does anyone make a set of tastful smoked rears or nicer aftermarket ones?

anyone on here got the little lip spoiler on there rs4-if so u gotta pic?!

and finally if i pull out the bose head unit and wanna fit a normal single din unit- am i going to have issues with the speakers are they and the sub amped elsewhere in the car? and am i better off getting a faceplate adapter from halfords or getting the audi dash trim for the smaller unit?

thanks and sorry for all the questions!

Front lights can only be bought as complete units....no lenses only i'm afriad

sidelights use BA9S (433) offset pin bayonet bulbs. (6w halogen)

InPro used to do smoked rear lamps....don't know if they still do

Lip spoiler.......best one is the Seat Leon Cupra R item (p/n 1Ml805903)....pic of one on my car below

IIRC the front speakers are run through the headunit, and the rest through the Bose sub/amp. But if you put in a aftermarket unit, you shouldn't have problems, as others have on here. Faceplate will need to be custom, as most of the ones available off the shelf have one problem or another as some have found out. Let me know on this.

Around £20 or so. Cheap and cheerful!
