    bare with me here on my iPhone. I was wondering how you guys have been dealing with the loose license plate bulb connections. I tried cleaning them but actual connection points aren't good so the lights only work when they are resting perfectly.

    You really need to play with them for a while. Thats what the tech from Audi told me "Open a bottle of beer and play with it, it's the only way."

    they're already swapped with led's still don't work. I'm tired of acting suprised when cops tell me one of my lights are out. I think I'll bust out the soldering iron tomorrow. I'm very impatient.
