A8 D3 fog lights (projector type)
Hello Chaps
One of my fog lights is cracked and needs replacing. My car is a 2006 A8 and has the round fogflight. I noted that the earlier A9's have a projector? type fog light. Are these any better than the later round reflector types? Prices are much the same so figure I could choose the better of the two types. Thanks! |

I bought a replacement pair for my 2006 D3 from Europarts exactly 4 years ago, they were at a discounted price of £22.95 each at the time.
Part numbers were 475441471 and 475441461 if you're interested. Now priced at £45 each, discounted from £120 each, allegedly. They were £80 each 4 years ago.

Can get them to £29 with code WINTER12 Also £20/pr here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-For-AU...t/163223187474 Not sure if they fit the A8 it says so. Do you have a pic of the projector style? Is it these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A8-2...t/273134431133 If so, it looks like the connector *may* be different as it fits straight onto the H11 bulb base. |

You may have to check out whether you need new brackets and you will certainly require new grilles both sides so it will cost a lot more than just replacing one failed fog lamp unit to do the swap over I would guess. . . .

Hi chaps and thanks for the replies - much appreciated
That is my fog-light, I am pretty certain the projector fits in exactly the same grill. However, I am happy to be proved wrong as I was the other day I can source either for about the same price but my initial question was which one looks better and provides a better light output? Correct me if I am wrong but they both take different bulbs? thanks |
