I need to replace my nearside outer as it's after getting cracked. Before I go straight to the Audi dealer, can anyone tell me what brand are used OEM or can recommend any one in particular? I see the ULO brand in a lot of places. Only thing now is that the new replacement may possibly make all the rest look a bit shabby.

ULO are the OEM for these. Forget Audi, cheapest is here

Thanks for that. I see I can get the brand new ULO or a secondhand original for the same money. I still haven't decided as I'm half leaning to the secondhand one so that it blends in with what's already there, although that's not to say the secondhand replacement has aged identically to my own either, so still deliberating.

As said, ULO are original. They made them for Audi for the D3 and Audi put their stamp on it and almost doubled the price!

They all fail with age, seams crack and moisture gets in, LEDs start failing. No way of knowing how long second hand will last, for the silly money they are selling it's not worth buying second hand. Either repair existing or buy new. I would not pay more than £50 for used.
