It's a bit more complex than that and to do with the date of Type Approval for a new model. So unlikely to actually be compulsory on an A7.

But manufacturers can implement them anyway.

Good job Guy, not for me though. Defiantly marmite but a good job nonetheless.

thanks Guy's yes i do think its a marmite love it or hate it, but i put in the extra effort and made them look like they were always on the car the lights are a replacment part for audi a6 2008-2009 not sure if the shape of them changed in 2010 but they are contoured to fit the A6 lower grill but they happen to be the perfect shape to go inside the headlight's as they are slightly banana shaped (the best way to put it), and so follow the natural shape of the headlight, also they match the lenses in colour

Great mod too, looks superb.

I was wondering where your driver side windscreen wiper is though?
oh it is there just the angle of the photo i expect, the driver side tucks under the bonnet lip any way but the passenger side dose not sadly
