hi guys,

I have been wanting to get my hands on a set of these for a while now and i have the cash waiting.
Does anyone know of where i can get a set for a decent price? i have looked on ebay and there are some sets on eBay Germany but i would rather just go and pick a set up.

Also I dont need the Kufatec cables either as i will be making up my own looms

Also is it true that the MY11 Sportback rear lights are darker in tint like the MY11 3 door ones are? someone at Ace Cafe meet said that but i havent seen any like that?

Any help is appreciated.

Haha Ash, you didn't trust what I said, lol! Hope your good mate.
Yeah the MY11 ones are darker tint like the 3 door.

BTW changed my MFSW buttons to the black with chrome trim. Looks good. Will get some pics up soon.
 
ahhh it was you! thats how crap my memory is! lol

i really want to see the darker tint... might go and pop down to audi next week and browse around their new A3s (as you do)
i fitted a couple of the rear lights yesterday for some guys and it just hurt when i came back to mine and saw how ugly the standard ones were... really need a set of those on my car.

yh i read that you managed to swap your black ones with someone that had chrome ones... you jammy git! get some pics up! i might be looking for a flat bottom wheel soon :ninja:
 
i have just searched for some pics of the newer rear tails on the audi websites and even the RS3 seems to have the same normal tint rear lights :think:

its not that i dont believe you danny its just that i cant find any pics of the darker tint sportback rear lights

well like i said i cant actually see how they look darker... to me they just look standard on the my11s.
seeing as i cant see the difference im just going to get any facelift rear lights and then lamin x them as originally planned :ninja:
 
Well I never, I could have sworn they were darker. Sorry mate, think I deserve a slap on the next meet!! Haha

Hahaha! Cars great brought it home now. What day you comeing down? And no still no reverse light :-(
 
Sportback rear leds are all the same colour, no tints at all, only 3dr's have changed over ther different versions.
