Default Dual Rear Fog Question

Now I know alot of you think that this is stupid but I just dont wanna hear it! I only put on the rear fogs when its really bad weather conditions, I just think it looks stupid with only 1 of them when the A6 and the AllRoad both have the dual rears....


Ok, so...I just wired up the right side for the extra foglight and used a 1156 20 watt bulb. Clearly this isnt the right bulb to use because it matches the brake light right next to it. The left side rear fog light is extremly bright, does anyone know what type of bulb it is??? I went to Audi the other day and said they had no idea because it was too new, which I think is a lame excuse for them not knowing, they said that it was the same bulb as the standard brake light bulb...So, anyone have an idea???


Thanks!

thats funny you say that, because i got the directions from him and used that exact bulb. It looks like the rear fogs in his pic poster match pretty nicely, I wonder what the story is???

So what have you done about the problem Dolphin/S???
