Hey guys, I'm looking to purchase a local 2012 A7 (sline, quattro, 3l diseal bi turbo, etc etc) but it doesn't have fog lights....It has everything else however, so I am thinking about considering it as a real option anyway.

However, to retroactively add fog lights to an A7, you basically need to buy a whole new front bumper, or no? Obviously I would need the wiring harness, bulbs, ballasts, housings, etc but all that stuff would be relatively cheap if I didn't need to replace the front bumper completely....

Thanks in advance guys and let me know! [:D]

There aren't fog lights in the bumper. They are radar sensors for the adaptive cruise control. The 'fog lights' are in the LED headlights and are called 'all-weather' lights I believe.

Yes this! I would expect all headlights to have the "fog" component in them. They are quite nice on the LED '16 A7.

Yes, those are the radar units for the adaptive cruise control.

There is a thread on AudiWorld about one guy that put Hella projector driving lights in those grills.

Assuming he didn't have adaptive cruise here?? Got a link?

Here's the link. - http://www.audiworld.com/forums/s6-c7-platform-discussion-199/aftermarket-driving-lights-2862212/

It's sort of a expensive modification since the grills alone are selling for around $350 (used) on eBay. It does look factory but you can get a killer LED set up for that amount of money.
