    Is anyone currently using these or can anyone confirm that these do not fit the RS4? Seems strange they'd work with the B7 A4 and B7 S4 but not the RS4:

    Wish the OEM ones weren't made of butter, stripped both of them trying to swap out my LEDs.

    All the same. I’ve used them from my RS, S and A4. And yes, they are poor quality!

    I went to Home Depot and got some stainless screws and a washer and has been perfect for about 5 years or so. I think the total was under $1.

    Yeah, I tried that as well, went out and picked up some M3x10mm screws that were recommended in a few threads on here at Home Depot but the thread was way too fine so I grabbed some #4x1/2" sheet metal screws but even those are starting to strip.

    Odd I have never had issues and have had my lights off quite a few times in the past 5 years or so. Might have even been longer than that. The thread pitch matched up fine.

    Use the right sized #1 bit and you shouldn't strip them. If they are already stripped, oh well.

    Yes, I have used those ECS screws on my RS4 and they fit perfectly. I’ve found them to be a significant improvement over the stock screws.
