as some of you might remember... while in a Swiss garage a rear light cluster was cracked.
as of a week ago i get a rear brake light warning often. today i upgraded the bulbs to Osram LED. i now get the warning every time i brake, although as far as i can see the lights work.
decided to pull the holders, clean the connections, hopefully that fixes it.
i figured i'd swap the rear left cluster with the replacement the garage gave me... only they're different. annoying
(replacement left - original right)
The unit that came off has a linear pattern on the reverse light and is a brighten red with a kind of golden glow. It matches the one on the right.
It has a part number 4B9 945 095 F 3FZ
if i google the above i get a standard C5 A6 rear light:

Looks like this:
I'm guessing the one that came off the car is correct and the garage gave me a normal A6 light. The one they gave me (on the left above) looks a lot like this from Audi Tradition:

I seem to have had a run of bad luck with other people messing with my car.
My garage in Holland told me the RS6 has special darker lights?
Anyone know what has happened here?

Re: rear light cluster confusion
The darker light is a pre-facelift light. The other is a facelift light it really is a simple as that.
The RS6 is a facelift car, so only came with the newer version light

Re: rear light cluster confusion
when you put it like that it is
the dutch garage confused me with the 'RS6 has a special darker light' talk.
cool, so i just get one, or two new 4B9 945 095 F 3FZ and i'm good
thanks
