Got myself a brand new dome light from Audi Tradition because the old one had a broken switch.

I needed 3 days the gather courage to take the sun roof motor cover out to change it, most of you know how notorious the metal clips on those are for breaking.

One of the clips had failed already at one point and someone fixed it with epoxy

So I did some preventive epoxying on the other one

However the new light looks out of place on the old cover so the cover will be sent for respray, there is a guy here that does this and even restores the original letters and symbols

My host pic.bg has disabled picture embedding, when I have the time will fix the old posts by uploading them directly to the forum.

Very awesome build! But, am I the only one who has half of the pictures missing? I can only see certain pictures, while most of the other ones are gone. Good luck on the build!

So, after fixing the headlights of almost all of my friends it was finaly time to fix mine. A short trip to the breaker got me a set of broken lights for next nothing but the important part (the reflectors) was intact. So I scavenged the reflectors from the donor lights and sent them for rechroming. The whole exercise with getting donor lights was because the place that does the rechroming is a huge factory and they have 1 week lead time. When the refinished reflectors came back it was time to get to work.

Carefully washed both lens on both projectors for low beam and fog light. Usually the fog light never goes bad, its reflector is metal and all it needs is some "spit and polish"

Now it was time to put some bulbs, as the regulations here are pretty loose whe are allowed to use HID in Halogen socket light also the projetors on those lights maintain sharp focus, clean cutoff and do not produce glare even with HID bulbs so I went for the following recepie
Low beam HID 4300K metal base bulb with fast bight AC ballasts 35W
High Beam some no name LEDs with CSP diodes and active cooling
Fog light HID 3000K with standard AC ballasts - nothing beats yellow light in fog

And we went on a short trip to the snowy mountians to thest the lights, and as it is S2 forum here is a video of an S2 driving infront me

All the lights work, I have duplicated the fog light and installed LED bulbs to keep the light bar cool. Have seen several cracking where the fog and reverse light is. Just the 3rd brake light still uses the 2W incandescent bulbs.

Finally, a rust free tailgate with spoiler.

Which led to finally getting the spoiler with the integrated 3rd brake light out of the package.

And tested the brake light, all bulbs were working which was a surprise, those are notorious for having bad connection issues.
