Thanks for your reply.

Good advice and I'll have a look on Ebay.

I've a 2007 facelift but it doesn't have those newer lights so it's not the final, final, facelift model.

Do we know if the facelift rear LED's will fit the 2006/7 model?

"Audi is doing the final primping to the A8, which will bow as a 2008 refresh in September at the Frankfurt auto show.

The basic formula hasn't changed: Buyers still choose between a 4.2-liter V-8 and a 6.0-liter W-12, and the A8 still rides on an air suspension and has Quattro all-wheel drive. The biggest changes come in the form of new electronic safety systems.

Audi Side Assist uses radar to detect cars driving in the A8's blind spots. If a driver signals to change lanes, the blind-spot indicator flashes yellow LEDs in the mirror housings to warn if the way is not clear.

In addition, Audi Lane Assist uses a small camera to detect when the A8 changes lanes without signaling first. If a driver begins to wander on the highway, the A8's steering wheel vibrates as a prompt to keep the driver in his or her lane.

These features aim to increase safety, especially for drivers who rack up a lot of highway miles. But in driving the 2008 Volvo S80, equipped with similar safety features, we didn't like their constant nagging. "

Otherwise, changes to the A8 are minimal. The new side mirrors have built-in LED turn signals, and the car sports new wheels, paint finishes, and interior color options. The LED taillight setup also has been refreshed with a more compact, squared-off look."
