    A6/S6 Taillights-seeking red (no orange)!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,
    I recently picked up an '02 S6 Avant. I am beginning my modification process (wheels, exhaust, coilovers, stereo, etc...) and wanted to get the all red tail lights (no Orange in the turn signal). I've seen these on some Allroads and regular A6 Avants but haven't been able to figure out what years these came on, etc...

    Can anybody help me with details or part numbers?

    Better yet, does anybody want to trade me????

    The all red taillights were on the pre-facelift cars. For your Avant, it's 1999-2001. The 1998 Avant was the old C4 body style.

    Awesome, that's what I was looking for...

    So I need to try and find some A6 or Allroad lights from 99-01 then, cool!

    Those are the same tails that I have and although the Orange isn't that prominent, it is something that I'd like to change if I can... It's low on the list but I wanted to figure out what my target was at least!

    Does anybody know of any good Audi dismantlers that might have these used? I found some new ones online for about $350+ tax and shipping-not worth that much to me but I could trade or buy some cheap, I'd probably bite...

    What about the headlights? Has anybody tried these Euros from ebay? Do they work, plug and play?

    Looks great! How hard is it? Did you send them out to get done or DIY?

    Any info would be awesome!

    Mission accomplished. I found an audi dismantler who had one used (in new condition) and one brand new. Shipping and tax included to my door was $260 for both sides...

    I'll probably sell my old ones on ebay once the new guys come in. I hate having parts sitting around doing nothing.

    Thanks for everybody's help. If anybody wants these, the new ones are $180 each and you can call Eddie at: 800 327 0888

    all you have to do is silicone the seals so they don't fog up... no other difference, and they are plug and play, no cutting wires or anything... look good and OEM too

    I've looked extensively. I'd be all over them if they existed, trust me. If anybody can show me, I'll call and cancel my other order right now!

    I have seen them for A4 Avants, but not A6/S6 avants or Allroads... That might be what you are thinking about.
